I would say this will probably be a parting of the ways on one level. Up till now everything DAZ has made is Poser4 compatible, which means Poser5 should handle it. C-Labs didn't even bother to make Poser5 scenes PZ5, or CR5, to identify them. Even PZZ wans't really theirs. It's just a zipped version of the regular Poser files. Now that DAZ has their own format, it much more likely THEY will push the envelope. THe DAZ file evidently will include everything in the scene. No more trying to sort from various runtime folders to get your distribution together. If DAZ takes the same about of time to come out with Pluggins for the final released D|S as C-Labs take to make Poser6, where will I be? Same place. Figuring out my own work around for both programs. DAZ|Studio, right now in APLPHA release, had way better content management and user interface. That's why I'll use D|S over P5. DAZ has, if nothing else, shown a willing ness to make the tool I wanted. Even if they don't, or can't finish it. C-Labs with Poser has basically given me whatever they thought they could get away with. I REALLY hope C-Labs pulls their act together and that Poser 6 is a smart, original, and MODERN tool they promised us for Poser5.
