I am just suprised at how many people are concerned with how good DAZ studio is going to be rather than looking at what WAS and still is a very good mid priced 3d application (Poser in case you were wondering) What is going to happen then? Is everyone going to dump Poser for daz studio? Maybe the only time you may see poser again will be in a museum! Why rebuild something that was not broken? Add more to it, better rendering engine etc.. Problems now start due to inherited old/bad code practices. Build it from scratch, anyone here willing to wait 2 - 5 years for the new version? Give them a chance to put things right (although I can say I have not experienced the sorts of problems people have been posting in these forums) I think they would have been better concentrating on the modeling and posing side of things and have a 3rd party develop plugin renderers. These are my personal views and I DO NOT expect to be shot down in flames over what I believe.
