Re: DAZ Purchases Eovia  Good? Bad? Or Who Cares?
-----------------------------------
I am generally suspicious when someone wants to run the table. Competition is good for the consumer, it keeps companies on their toes, but it doesn't have to be cutthroat. If one company owned everything, what incentive would there be to better their products, as in "It's my way or the highway". Hopefully there will now be more resources available to improve the Eovia products, but they kind of lose their identity as a brand name.

Now I want to say something about DAZ & Victoria. I own Stephanie  & Stephanie 3, Victoria 1, 2 & 3, Michael 3, Millenium Dog & Cat, Bryce 5.5 & 6, vendor packs etc, so I [i]have[/i] actually spent some money there. We are up to version 4 with her now and still no great improvement in her shoulder/ arm area, IMO. It amazes me that nobody there attempts to improve that part, especially with the abundance of nude V3s in the galleries. If you plan to sell a product and accept people's hard-earned cash, get it right! Such a thing should be addressed in the basic product and not hook you into buying tons of extra crap in the hopes that you'll be able to get it the way it should be. Posette looks great out of the box with really what amounts to very little effort. The biggest hurdle for me was simultaneously learning general 3D concepts, Poser's interface and image editing programs while working 60 hours a week. It's addictive!

Hopefully this will be a good thing for us all in that the price may fall to where it brings more new, young blood into the 3d arena that would not have come otherwise due to prohibitive costs. Otherwise it's just more "I want to own everything". Long live Posette & Dork in their Posetteforever Kingdom!
