The "future of artistry" will do fine as long as we have our softimage XSi MAX,Maya.LW C4D et al. E-on is very up front who their target buyer is for this app it is clearly aimed at the beginner/"hobbiest" who does NOT animate characters and has NO ambitions to re-render the "Defense of Helms deep" from LOTR sure its full of scene presets and "wizards" that would appeal to the "click-load& render" crowd who does not want to be bothered with the technical complexities of scene set up. at LESS than $100 USDand with GI rendering what is so wrong with that ?? they are not claiming this is some full CG solution for the "professional" think of the people who buy preset poses for.......poser LOL!!! I use Carrara pro4 for my direct import of poser animations and CINEMA4D 9.1 studio bundle for high end stills and CG effects/renders. Bryce is still gasping along on the core code written by eric wenger in the early 1990's .and frankly ,all DAZ has done is added some ornamental poo-ware to encourage the continued purchase of their repetitive unimess content. it seemed to me that Adam was looking for A low level rendering app with hassle free direct import of poser characters. perhaps i misunderstood what was being asked.
