From a long time user of al the old Metacreations products, throught the Corel acquisition of Bryce and their near killing of it...thru Poser..and the DAZ buying of Bryce, and saving it from extinction...I think you will find DAZ more than supportive of Eovia products..Carrara and Hexagon. They're commited to keeping great apps reasonably priced and available so a lot of folks can achieve in CG. Their customer service is overall outstanding. A few glitches here and there, but everyone has them. They do have a special knack at marketing, just witness what they have done with DAZ Studio....But there is no question they are a great company and have a very loyal customer base.

Their current base is a bit different than cobblers like you guys...doing the modeling and so forth...maybe a lot of people that cant model...yet...but have to buy product from a company such as dAZ...but there are already people over there wondering what Carrara and Hexagon are...and more than likely a lot of them will join you guys in learning and using the Eovia applications.
