" But does DAZ really expect CG pros to glom on to pre-made content like Vicky?"
"
Yes this is a part of their strategy
They have stated:"Another example is a plug in we are working on that loads a full Genesis figure directly into Maya with the same functionality as in DAZ Studio or Carrara 8.5 (beta will be available soon) . Many more bridges will come in the future."
and as promised
HERE
is an early beta of the, genesis to Autodesk ,MAYA plugin
"hosting" the genesis model in Autodesk MAYA.
They are hoping that user of Maya will start using their Daz studio progams and genesis figures and clothing in pro pipeline of Games,VFX Film&TV
of course the Autodesk Maya people will have to re rig the mesh with a properAutodesk human IK skeleton rig for animation and remap it with textures for mental ray or vray renderers so we will see how that works out for DAZ.
Btw
THESE are the types of animation controls
that professional Maya animators tend to prefer.
so that DAZ "hosting" plugin has a long way to go.
Cheers
