I can see the CL/Daz & Poser/Studio connections getting very interesting in the near future. With Daz Studio still in the formation stages, and CL announcing the pending release of version 6...the merry-go-round has already started up. Curious Labs has already taken the first steps in character creation in version 5, and with the addition of the modelling program Shade[?]to their arsenal they will definately push this development further in the near future. Daz Studio does have some native format and unique content filing capabilities, but is still going to be backward compatible to Poser in most aeas...something that I believe will also change in future releases of D|S. My guess is that by the 3rd Service release of Poser 6, and Daz Studio verion 2...they will be two entirely different programs with few cross-over capabilities. I further predict that Poser 4 is going to eventually become the Golden Classic of figure posing software; at least it will be on my computer.
