Yeah, I'll go along with you on that, Niles. Now, Daz does have some nice products - the wide variety of animals (both extinct and living) ready-made for Poser is great! Because of the "magic faery wings" and "RPG cloak" for V3, in which I have no interest, this is the area around which I've been focusing my Daz purchases. Personally - IMHO, rumor-mill, no evidence ;), I think not only are they concentrating on V3 because, let's face it, it sells, but also, they are probably devoting many resources to DAZ Studio (oh, when, oh, when) and M3. I predicted in December/January that DAZ Studio would probably be initially released (as beta or first version) right around NOW. Boy, was I off! So much for my career as psychic, huh? There hasn't been an update concerning it in over five months. Not a good sign of imminent release. Back on topic, overall - not just DAZ - it seems that the market is getting, well, thin. Koshini this, Koshini that. Now we have what's his name based on Koshini. Sci-Fi, RPG, fantasy, movie-based stuff. There are wide arrays of markets that haven't even been tapped or just barely scratched. How many "Pinup poses" or "Futuristic armor Ninja suits with death-ray blaster" do we need anyway? ;) BYS
