here's what i see: d|s is about to come out. there are three groups of people, those who think it'll work wonders, those who think it's going to be a nice toy to play with, and finally, those who think it's just overrated and aren't putting any stock into it. however, curious labs is being even more quiet than normal, and i think they're holding their breath to see what d|s will be capable of. for better or worse, daz studio is going to change the face of ready-made 3d humans, for one main reason: poser will finally have some competition. how far this goes, we'll have to wait and see. when your first neighbor moves in, no matter what they're like, it's gonna be hard to walk around naked anymore. never in the history of capitalism has some friendly competition been a bad thing. even if daz studio turns out to be nothing more than a goofy toy, it should stir some growth among the market.
