DAZ|Studio is in beta, and they're getting a very large customer base to help with the testing. Who knows exactly how it will work when DAZ|Studio is released in its final stage? What modules will we need to buy in order to make it functional? DAZ's strategy has been to release the "base" version of various figures, knowing that we'll want to buy the addon packs to gain greater functionality. Again, they haven't done this for every major Poser figure. Sometimes, when they do this, it is for a limited time. Stephanie, the Mystery Model is a good example. There was a long gap between the initial release of DAZ|Studio and getting Mike 3 and Vicky 3 for free. I do like what DAZ has done for the community. I do appreciate their freebies. I have, however, decided not to touch DAZ|Studio until we see its final release. I just have much more to learn with Poser 5, and I also want to learn other software such as Shade.
