Corrections ...

If I had my money on the line, and didn't  already have apps that did content handling, scene generation, and modeling, at this point my money would be on Carrara 6 instead of DAZ|Studio or Poser 7+/Vue or Bryce, and a modeler, simply for the convenience of being able to compose a scene, develop new content, animating, and rendering all in one application.
