looks like the downfall of the DAZ/Poser community continues because Bondware (the current owners of Poser) just sold Renderosity to an unknown company named TapLog, Inc. Bondware will keep Poser, but Renderosity's future looks bleak if this is how it's going.

From their quick introduction, I see Taplog as just another short sighted equity company hoping to make a quick buck from the graphics/3D/AI world.
On the other hand, now that they don't have to waste money developing and supporting Poser, they can get rid of the hysterically loyal Poser cultists and become a real competitor to Daz-stupid-3D.
Yup. That’s why i said their future is bleak. Private equity has always been a thing where dying brands go before they’re broken into parts.
I can't find any info for Taplog inc...only some refs to it but no actual website. I use Poser -an older version- since my comps are older and the newer version cost too much, as for DS....none has ever worked on my comps since the first rendition.
But but but they're a "family-owned" business. Surely that means they're salt-of-the-earth folks who love hotdogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet. They go fishin' together down by the crick. They sew their own clothes, and join in on the local barn raisings.
Then again, the Trumps, the Bidens, the Bushs, and the Clintons are all family-owned businesses, too.
It says it's a 'profit corporation'. That can't be good.
Wouldn't it be funny if it was a shadow company for Daz3D.....or maybe RenderHub?highly likely. smells like some sort of shell company. like HOW can TapLog even get approved by the payment systems in LESS than two months!?!
