I don't know what DAZ Studio will do. It might be a competitive replacement. When you say Poser compatible, it might mean that it uses Poser files. I am grateful to the folks at Curious Labs for taking over when Metacreations went under. Without them, there wouldn't be a Poser. I believe their problem is that they are taking an existing product and modifying it over and over, getting it to do more things. With today's software and hardware, they would have designed it radically different and it would run better and faster. I think that is what DAZStudio will do. It is possible to build complementary programs in the area of modelling, video posting, and animation. These would expand Poser's abilities in these areas, but I don't think that that is what DAZStudio is about. We'll have to wait and see.
