Well to date daz studio is at beta 0.9.4 and every version that comes out is better then the last the rendering has speed up and alot of the most anoying problems have been taken care of. as for the bryce plug in it is at the moment available for bryce from what i read at Daz3D they intend on improveing bryce D|S and mimic to someday be almost all in one in D|S you create the character and set it up, in mimic you take care of the voice animation and sound and in bryce you create an imersive and realistic world for your character to be in all togather there idea for the future of these programs sound wonderfull to think with little work you can create an entire animation with realistic world daz3d has always said that D|S is and never was intended to be a replacement for poser but instead more like a helper program or assistant progrma it make all this content easier to handle and work with. but do keep in mind that Daz|Studio is in BETA that means that it is not complete and they arnt going to add all functunailty right away so that they can have something to make add ons and plug ins for in the future they did mention that that is the only thing about D|S that they will be chargeing for is the plugins. dont expect it to work perfectly that is what beta testing is all about its so us the consumers can put D|S through the entire shebang and tell daz what needs fixing so that when it is released in its full state that it wount be bug ridden like poser always is and other programs are.

i hope my babblings have helped somone i know most of this has been repeated so many times in so many diffrent forums but as long as people ask it needs to be said.

on another note there is a web site that has released a plugin for maya to be able to use poser content even without poser it is in its earlie beta testing right now and is very bare bones but what they have achieved is amazeing it imports morphs characters props and mats all into maya and you will be able to pose morph and render all in maya and from the pics on there site (especialy the egyptian one) the outcome is almost too real :)
