I believe (just my belief) that anyone buying DAZ Studio to spite Curious Labs are going to get a surprise. DAZ Studio will increase the 3D market in this arena bringing more users to Poser as well. Also remember that DAZ Studio (at least the first one) is going to require a .pz3 file. I also have a concern for DAZ. By the time the application finally comes out it will be so hyped (like it is now) that they are going to get attacked WHEN it doesn't deliver. The "yeah but it's a beta" BS is going to be right out the window as soon as a winer loses a file. Or a file gets corrupt. Or the scene won't render. Then the gloves will be off. Personally I believe that DAZ Studio was introduced to early. Businesswise I understand the motive for doing this. Introduce it because P5 is comming out. This way less people will buy it and wait for DS. Smart move? Maybe... No I am not bagging in DAZ. I know them all very well. I honestly think of them as close friends. I'm concerned for them is all. I will also use Poser AND DAZ Studio. Which ever one gets the job done in any particular situation is the one I'll turn to. These are just my opinions.
