I think we might eventually see P5/6 support from Daz. But who knows..maybe not.

Daz is a Poser store. Unless you can rig directly in Studio, Daz will always be a Poser store. And that will likely mean eventual Poser6 support. It will be interesting to see more Bryce brokers emerge but are a bit stuck if people can't use their latest figures in it, Poser customers won't be interested in the new bryce products..

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Studio but it is taking too many years to finish it. After three years, I've given up waiting for the hopes to rig in it. As a content person, it is pretty much useless to me. All the cool stuff shader stuff is in P5/P6 format.

They can duplicate/incorporate stuff they buy into Studio like Face-offs scripts. But with something like Bryce I don't see how they can avoid supporting P6. Maybe they are going to merge them into Daz's Bryce Studio (StudioBryce, BryceSTudio).

In the meantime, it would be awesome if Daz worked with Cl to develop a proper P6importer. Poser4 is old. Unless they get Studio finished, Bryce will become a bit stagnant without the latest pz3's and figures being able to go into it.

CL has released Poser 5 and 6 and yet no final official Studio. Now they have Bryce on their plate... I wish they would focus. They really need to finish Studio with rigging tools a.s.a.p before the window is gone forever. Studio is a really cool idea but Poser 6 is now.

Poser/Shade is kinda liek Bryce/Studio right? Shade is a rendering enviornment liek Studio? Can shade do what Bryce does? I dunno, it is all very complicated. But with background shader, etc wouldn't it be better to import into Poser/Studio istead of the other way around? I haven't used Bryce in years but I only used it for the shaders which you can to in Poser now. If people buy Bryce to render better than P4, the P6 ugrade has alot more content and just a bit more money. I dunno enough about Bryce/Shade/ or Vue. But I really really love Poser6. And I was a P4 diehard. Maybe PoserPython can make a terrain generator. Between that and the background shaders you can do the same in Poser? Face-off has done a python interface, can't someone make sky/background interface?

OT: I wish there were more Poser6 merchants selling commercial material nodes. I buy little, but would jump on that.
