Well, I'm opposed to DAZ Studio. I don't use it. However, I've been aware of some basic problems with how it treats files that Poser 4-6 have no problems with, problems that aparently aren't going to get fixed (like the 3-polygons with a common edge hole problem), plus other incompatabilitys that deal with how it is coded (like it will not use Joint Setting poses). I think DAZ Studio made sense when DAZ started it, as it looked like Curious Labs was going to go under, but it doesn't anymore. While the idea of a "free" Poser program to get new users into the fold is an excellent, it would be better served by E-Fronteir making Poser 4 free, at P-4 is Poser Compatable, after all. I think DAZ should abandon DS, and devote the energy to something more useful to the Poser community.
