I think the most exciting thing here is the technology, rather than this particular application. Clearly, in terms of realism, full body scanning is the way to go for 3D characters. I can understand DAZ going with the celebrity angle in terms of making a splash and recouping their investment in the process. That of course means more restrictions on use and a celebrity tax on the resulting product. I hope that in the future, they continue to use the technology but provide a mix of characters, including some that will be less restrictive and hopefully less expensive because they are based on non-celebrities.
