BEWARE - NOT TO EXPECT IN THE NEXT YEAR PROBABLY
After looking at the possibilities of 3delight, I woner how far DAZ will go in replacing poser. If I got the descriptions right, 3delight is able to render NURBS als well as native Subdivision Surfaces. This are features which are pretty useless when you render meshes made for Poser. But if there are enough people using D/S there could be a market for a Subdivided Vicky, which would be using very ow memory, probably have much less problems with the joints and even renders faster then any polygonal model.
I do not know if DAZ has the ressources to really use this options. But if they do Veritas could be right - Poser would have to include the same technology or would be clearly outdated.
Just a wild thought, of course. DAZ will probably have more than enough work to include Poser-compatibility, which is nessecary to enter the market. I doubt that they will find the time to include such a feature early. But if they do, the effect could be drastic.
greetings,
