Ringo - rigging was mentioned for carrara and bettering the animation in D|S.

ren_men - Dan Farr mentioned 3d scans etc in a thread here at renderosity about 2 years ago for V4.  If after 4 years between releases of figures they haven't gotten the rigging and bending to work well, that's sad.  V4 ain't out so who knows.

my point is that Daz as a software company isn't really that reliable.  example Mimic for lightwave is for lightwave 7.5 and lightwave is now at v9.  3 major lightwave releases and Mimic for lightwave hasn't advanced.  Daz aquired Mimic.

D|S development for 4 years and no rigging tools for it produced yet.  Daz hasn't produced any D|S plugins for D|S, 3rd parties have and Daz has bought plugins by 3rd party people but Daz development internally isn't doing it.

People have been screaming for faster Byrce rendering for years, the Bryce 6 announcments all speak to posing figures in byrce with and through better integration with D|S.  Lego on Lego but not really any different or new Lego pieces.

Sorry don't mean to be so negative, just watched the Daz PR machine and the company in action for years.  I read the transcript and see it as more of the same stuff being said for years.
