"Something I'd like to see, although it's more wishful thinking, is for DAZ to include Poser Shader support in a future release,"

 

Don't count on it. Daz chat at ArtZone talked about DS intergration, not Posr. The DS/Poser split is starting so you are going to need to make a choice as to which way you want to go. Bryce is now for DS, Carrara will go that way as stated by Daz and Vue will be Poser. Which Vue 6 will be using Poser 6 shaders.

I have Carrara5Pro, I really like using it,so it's not like I don't know what the apps can do. But, had I known that Daz was buying Carrara, I most likely would have waited and seen what Vue was going to do. I don't use DS, I use Poser. It's not hard to see which way to go for my needs. Though I find having both Carrara and Vue will be a big advantage.
