I think DAZ is well aware of the economic model and how it works.For example,DAZ is now at the top of all the lower to mid-range 3d apps.It now has the best of them,if its render was sped up,vue poser and friends would die from competition.I can easily see DAZ stop supporting poser if its better when integrated with bryce(vicky&mike would be the model to have)if it had bryce only functions.It would topple poser like nothing,and blow away vue with faster,better looking renders.It could make alot of curiouslabsPoser users mad and jump ship to the better app.They have sort of a corner on the lowend market now,and keeping it that way by not adding more compatibility with other apps(more modeling functions,boning,better render solutions,GI,HDRI,.FBX import export,ect.)They are essentially holding back the bryce user because they want to keep you in the "fold" so to speak."if our users can model,we become an app maker, but we sell models!" is probably what makes them do it.That and if enough time goes by the bryce app will be so archaic compared to the new methods being developed,that they will never upgrade it because it is sooo far behind(normal mapping being very important in the new 3d technology set of tools).Someone needs to tell daz to hire all the original bryce programmers.
