Well equal...to who??They are attempting to take on every possible field.Curious Labs isn't trying to become like rosity as they're not mass marketting products for their render engine.As for doubling the number of people...get real,there may be almost twice as many Bryce users but the tech has been eclipsed for some time now and most sites including DAZ offer almost nothing of real substance for Bryce users compared to poser...same is true for most products like Corel.Poser dominates...clear and simple. I'm sure people at Sega were convinced it was a great idea to branch out into hardware too...then after a half billion dollar loss they finally woke up and realised they never really understood what they were doing and shouldn't have done it (but took losing a half billion dollars to realise that mistake). Like Sega,DAZ is trying to go after Poser and compete...its not their field and all they can do is lose money and push Curious Labs into making a better product.Lol...all Sega did with Dreamcast was push Sony into making PS2 months or even years before they wanted-they released it so fast many of the early consoles were returned because of defects. The only thing you can say is that DAZ is either trying to dominate or be a driving force...but equal,can't be equal to the entire market ynsaen as no one else is trying to pursue such a broad agenda.Equal...not hardly,but driving force from the point of view of making you dependent on their products-yeah,they're trying their best there lol. As for free...DAZ render is only free because they want to get as many people using DAZ render as possible so that you will need all the add ons you have to pay for...thats been an open fact since the beginning.Problem is,most people who have tested it think its garbage and considering the Beta was worse than the Alpha...well,its obvious they made a huge mistake.I didn't mean to imply they're gonna strip Bryce of anything ynsaen...it'll remain exactly the same with absolutley no improvements or updates-but they will strip its technology for use in DAZ render and I think everyone knows that was the sole purpose for buying it. But before you make a generalization about free lol...I've bought stuff that turned out to be crud and have gotten freebies superior to the most expensive products-its why I love freebies including the ones you've released at RDNA m'lady:P

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
