Daz Studio with current plugin releases $45.80 (non sale prices). So much for FREE. (yeah I know base is free, plugins extra). From Daz Studio Beta Press release: Python support , For-sale plugins for .LWO and .MAX import/export. Things change in production. v1.0 has neither. v1.0 does state: DAZ|Studio is compatible with all the standard content sold in the DAZ online store. Nowhere does Daz Studio state that Daz Studio is compatible with Poser 4, PP, 5, 6 or 3rd party content NOT sold at Daz online store. "why bother with actual proof of a nefarious conspiracy :-) when all one needs is a deep seated long standing grudge accompanied by blatant attempts to light fires in the forums." Daz has stated over and over again that Daz Studio was not a Poser replacement. So Daz Studio has it's own "Magnets", it's own "Scripting". When a company says something over and over again and does another if that is a grudge so be it I guess. Sometimes its more of in the past a statement is made and posters being called liers then the truth later comes out and a statement of "I told you so". "It's the end of the world ...and I feel fine."-R.E.M.
