Runtime DNA merges with DAZ 3D

Very true @Aelin!! Good to see you over here!! ......... man you changed out your Avatar again lol....... hard to keep up with you!!
Yeah, i like change sometimes :)
Happy to see you here also!

I hope all Poser vendors will move on good sites accepting Poser stuff. Because the latter politic of Daz with encrypted packs isn't good, and not possible for Poser. But Daz said that new packs on their own site will be only in encrypted files. So...

And like Pommerlis, i removed pictures of the RDNA gallery (except the sponsored scenes for the moment).

Forgot about the Gallery, so all pics now deleted.

All the best.

Where on earth did you surmise that? It was clearly stated that they are going to leave RDNA's current TOS in place and continue to allow the images that are there to remain and keep "watch" in the months to come to see if will remain the same or not. I'm sure in time DAZ's own TOS will come into play at some point or perhaps they will rethink their own nudity ban (I just thought I'd throw that in there for a laugh :p ).

Paganeagle do you have inside information regarding Daz's plans for Dawn etc content from RDNA or is your comment just speculation, so far I've seen questions regarding Dawn etc content being asked but as of yet no one official has made a statement, it might well still be something that they are negotiating.
Personally I would love to see Daz broker Dawn etc products it would give the figures a lot more exposure especially to the DS market.
From what I can gather the forums and the galleries will remain open I guess that is unless everyone removes their images and then it might not seem worthwhile.
Also I've got the impression that Poser products will not be encrypted.

It's not inside information or speculation. Dawn and Dusk have been seen by DAZ as competing products, they even delete threads over at DAZ and state that actual thing.

All the best.

I don't think any of us here feel this was an easy decision for Syyd, Colm and Eric. They poured their heart and soul into their vision for 12? 14? years. Through RDNA they embraced art from all angles and developed an edgy and gritty style. I feel for them to be in that position in the first place ... and then having to explore options. I'm happy for them that they found a solution they are celebrating.

I think it's natural to get emotional and feel hurt by things like this. We invest so much of our selves in our art, our tools and communities that through them we feel part of something bigger than we are alone. When something like this happens, it's natural to grieve that loss.

We are all businesses doing our best to succeed in a competetive market. If you like something ... you feel it supports you ... you are inspired by it ... assists you to create ... you would grieve it if went away, find a way to support what you like. YOU are the ones who are truly in control of whether ANY of our 3D businesses succeeds or fails.

We are all grieving this loss and yet at the same time there is always a flip side. Someone else is celebrating. Let's try to see from both sides of the coin and keep kindness and compassion for others in the discussions to come.

Obviously there are overlapping issues and people are upset, but you know ... Every challenge brings opportunity. Threads like this one are important because they allow us to hash out our feelings (without personal attacks) get them out of the way and then get down to the nitty gritty what's really important - what the real issues are - and then perhaps we can uncover together possibilities for solutions.

Thanks so much for adding your voices here. We are listening ...

As always, enjoy creating!

They did say existing Poser product wouldn't be encrypted, and that kind of implies that Poser content that appears on their site after a set date may become encrypted.

Now, that's just me doing the old Devil advocate bit. It may or may not happen, but I'm always suspicious on the word "existing".

All the best.

Sense tells me, RDNA vendors with Dusk or Dawn products (Both Poser and Studio) need to find a home where they are welcome and get the best sales from their products. I'm not pointing them in any direction, but it does make sense.

All the best.

Well, that does rather make me wonder. As there is quite a bit of RDNA content that is Dawn and Dusk related? Is Daz willing to support that kind of content, or does it get moved here?
No one knows

But Daz said that new packs on their own site will be only in encrypted files. So....
That's not quite accurate :). Though we don't know the extent of it, they have not said this, but that some items will be encrypted.

Paganeagle do you have inside information regarding Daz's plans for Dawn etc content from RDNA or is your comment just speculation

It is pure speculation. There has been no word at DAZ as far as I know, though it has been asked in their FAQ thread about the buyout.

They did say existing Poser product wouldn't be encrypted, and that kind of implies that Poser content that appears on their site after a set date may become encrypted.

Given that their encrypted content does no,t as far as I know, work in Poser, I think you are reading a bit much into this comment. I don't really think that's implied. Could it happen? Sure, anything could happen, but there's no evidence of this. And if it ever happens, people who don't want encrypted Poser content just won't buy it, right?

Yap my gallery is gone mostly from RDNA. I will have to move some things here, and the little bit naughty ones to Fantasy Attic.

Too many people over time have see the threads removed at DAZ about Dawn or Dusk with the line:-

Removed due to competing figure.

Or something very similar to the above. So, that is not speculation.

All the best.
