Actually it is part of the competition. Daz has taken it over. EF allegedly, won't let Daz have the P7 SDK. Daz is pushing thier Daz/Studio on everyone. 

No competition? What would you call Vue6 with P7/EF over Carrara with DS/Daz. 

A recent pole at Poserpros which is owned by Daz showed about a 58% poser user base to a 27% DS user base. So I don't think Daz will let that slip totally out of there pockets but they are not making it easy for us and neither is eF.

I use both Carrara5Pro and Vue6I both can do things the other can't. But, as a Poser user, I'm going to invest in the app the supports that the best. I don't know about anyone else, but to me, that is competition. That is how I see it and is just my opinion.
