Over time I talk to a lot of people- but I don't KNOW anything for SURE! (heh) Vue's Poser import is an excellent way to go- at least for me, as I use Poser Pro-Pack and NEVER have a problem importing ANYTHING into Vue (I don't do dynamic hair, cloth or even animations- so its a Wonderful World for me as far a Poser imports are concerned.) But in the Bigger World of Marketing and Selling Software all the gimmicks come into play and whoever best controls the gimmicks gets people going THEIR WAY. Over time I think DAZ will establish their DAZ format since their software is FREE and it will be a handy UTILITY for anyone wanting to get M3, V3, Horses, Ducks, etc. stuff into MAX, Lightwave, Maya, c4D, ect. Curious Labs-E-Frontier doesn't sell MODELS- -they sell software (primarily). For DAZ, its the other way around- they sell models primarily. (Bryce is just a market to sell models into for DAZ- they aren't that driven like the original MetaTools-MetaCreations Kai Krause and Doc Musgrave crew- who were almost on a GROOVY 3D CRUSADE to make 3D Worlds for their Rock'n Roll audience, etc.) So Bryce is now largely a STAGNANT POND- almost no new water flowing into it. I hear DAZ is starting to think about Bryce 6- but that means it's probably about a YEAR AWAY at least. DAZ's main objective was just Bryce 5.5- means DAZ Model Imports... --Amyway, 3D software is largely all about business deals now and basically if the MASSES (public, etc.) are using the Free Daz Studio and are looking for another Low Cost 3D program -like Vue-Lite, it would be in E-ON's interest to have a DAZ Binary File import if DAZ is willing to give it to them (Poser Artist still uses the Stupid BUM files I think as well as Poser's bloated file format) Bottom Line- E-ON will move towards what best makes their software SELL. The low end buyers don't care about Software Politics and all the other BS that goes on in these Forums- they just want SOMETHING to HAPPEN (Results= Vicky with Ducks goes into Software that makes nice trees. Push Make Sunset button- Print on home color printer- tape picture onto refrigerator!) Love, Veritas
