Dan of Daz3d has stated that they want to make Daz Studio compatible with 3rd part applications, but has promised NOTHING. Since Daz Studio is still in early stages, compatability with Poser content is priority 1 right now. Very little info available to date, you may want to do a search of the threads here for "DazStudio" and read some of the posts. They said they would try for a press release or more info in Jan. MAYBE. My bet is 1st quarter 2003 you'll have a lot more info and questions will be answered more clearly. my 2 cents.
