All too true, but if Maya PLE could be bundled with the game, it could also most likely be bundeled with a posing application. (much like shade le and poser 6) And I don't think the ut editor could be used at all..maybe as an enhancement utility. You'd need a new main posing appication specifically created to utilize the new tech. People have created many new models, effects, maps, and total conversions already, and you'd have vehicles, weather effects, and could possibly even use the existing maps as sets. Heck, there's even a toon shader built in as well. I'm not saying that it will happen in the new few years, but eventually, I think we'll all be using tech like this. Lightwave, Maya and 3ds users alike. As graphic cards become more powerful, and the prices drop on them, it's really making 3d creation much more accessable on many levels.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
