Love that, too. Unfortunately it only works with stuff bought on Daz3D, 
though technically Poser-compatible stuff from, say, Renderosity can 
also be used in Daz3D. With Poser, on the other hand, everything is 
equally cumbersome to install.

The thing is, SmithMicro is apparently making most of their money by 
selling the Poser software, and they know that content-wise they have 
tremendous allies in 3rd party shops, so they have no interest in 
keeping their user base limited to the SmithMicro shop. Daz3D on the 
other hand is obviously making most of their money by selling content, 
so they have great interest in binding customers to /their/ shop alone, 
which they do by making /their/ stuff install like a charm; and as far 
as I'm concerned, this strategy works perfectly.
