Given the state of things at DAZ (three parallel betas, Bryce, Carrara and Studio, with interwined functionalities) I don't think that the final products will be out soon; I expect the real target date some time before SIGGRAPH 2010.

As examples of the work still to be done, COLLADA import into Carrara8 is utterly, totally broken and Bryce hasn't yet true instancing.

Bye!!!

P.S.: on DAZ forum there are two discussions about clouds and godrays and the results are almost up to Vue8 or TG2 level so the beast is looking really well.
