Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy with D/S, I realize its still an Alpha release. What I'm watching is the speed with which it will be taken to an application that offers the functionality that was promissed with Poser 5 (and never fully delivered) and how affordable it will be. I'm excited with Dan's statement and look toward the future. But I see that right now in its current state I find it impossible to start using DAZ Studio for my work for many reasons.
