Dan,

I thought the D/S Scripting was freely available and the SDK had an up-front cost.

D/S Scene files are binary.  Are there any plans to allow the writing of text editor readable versions as can be written for Poses, MATs and the like from DAZ Studio?  Surely, that would help Studio be even more "open".

One of the big differences here is that since Poser files are in essence "text files" it's easy to read through them and see what makes them tick.  You can't do the same with binary DAZ files (as in scenes).  So yeah, um, Poser files (from hair to cr2s to the .obj's themselves) are all exposed already and allowing for all those hacks and tweaks to be made in the first place.  And apparently enough is known about them to allow import into Studio, Vue, Carrara and other applications.

Just my buck-fitty.
