Unfortunately, there's really not a whole lot more to be said so far on DAZ Studio. Yes, we have plans to incorporate plugins for as many other 3D app's as possible. I can say definitively that we will have a plug-in for Lightwave and MAX. Other than that, "we're working on it" is all I can say, but that's a big goal for us. We feel it's an important aspect of what DAZ Studio can offer.

As for the beta release, we have no public release date information at this time, but it won't be too long. We are still very much in our alpha stage, and it will depend on how long the alpha stage lasts, obviously.

Most of the other questions people have had regarding system specs, file compatibility, pricing of modules, user interface design aspects, and integration of existing smaller apps (like Tailor, etc.) just cannot be answered at this time. We will have answers for you, and are going to answer them just as soon as we are at a point in development to do so. So, just keep checking our site, we'll provide additional information as it is made available.

Sorry to not have all the answers at once, but, hey it IS a modular program, so I'm afraid many of your questions will have to be answered "modularly" as well. ;)

Oh, and btw, a BIG, HUGE "THANK YOU!!!" to everyone for the effort and enthusiasm you're already showing! As I read through these posts and see people talking about telling everyone in their address book and mailing lists about this- Wow, that's exactly the type of response we were hoping and praying for! You guys are awesome, thank you very much.

All for now,
