Let's start the speculation: I would be willing to bet that the base V4 will be free (like V3), but people will have to purchase a $59.99 "body and face morph" set to do anything useful with it. These sets will come with over 1,000 INJ poses so users can shape and morph every single polygon on V4. V4 will have over 200,000 polygons and will use a minimum of five texture maps: head texture, body texture, head bump/ displacement, body bump/ displacement, and eye texture. The base textures will be 6000x6000 pixels in size. Some people will call this overkill, but DAZ will call this "realistic". V4 will be built so that it only works in DAZ Studio. This will be done for two reasons: 1) So DAZ can further promote Studio's features over Poser 6's features. 2) So DAZ can finally start getting away from supporting Poser. V4 will be so popular that people will have no choice but to switch to Studio. After V4 is released, M4 will will be created and it will follow the same development as V4: more polygons, larger textures, more INJ poses, and only works in Studio. Note: these are just my predictions. ;) --John
