DAZ Studio (not in the link, that's for something addressed below) is a compositing proggy, but not in the sense that Poser is a compositing proggy. DAZ is working with Newtek, Discreet, Alias (I think? Not 100% sure), Eovia, e-on software, and a whole host of other high- and middle-performance CG program houses. This is to make D|S more useful to folks on the higher end, as well as make it useful for folks who don't feel like shelling out the bucks for pretty pictures :) As for details of what's coming exactly, I'm afraid I can't divulge that because of NDA (I'm just condensing what has already been said by DAZ anyhoo), but suffice it to say that if even half of what they're looking to do comes to pass, it will impress the hell out of me, the regular hobbyist, and prolly even the folks at CG Talk. Khai sez: *"btw... windows 98 was created in 98 and is still supported (web only) by Microsoft.. it's interesting to note, while 98 is still in the support (till the end of this year)..."* Err, some side info, Khai: Microsoft is dropping all official support for Win98 at the end of this month. Hit that link up top of my post for details as to why, and what Win98 users have for options.
