Quote - "No the really Big time pros with Big budgets won't be using Poser and DAZ (yet) and would go with models for their programs, but until Eva came along, there weren't really any models for sale better than Vicky. I know 'cuz I looked. Most were butt ugly."

Hi you seem to be confusing your personal opinion of a female 3D model's attractiveness with an assets usefulness in a project. Using MAX .Maya,Softimage
Yes there are Small time shops and one man operations (like mine) that can get by with poser/Daz models  on limited animation productions.

 
But to think DAZ vicky is some how "better" than
those rigs on turbosquid
rigs based on her looks in STILL renders/poses indicates a complete lack of understanding about how 3D rigs are used/ needed in animation Games,movie VFX, television.
first and foremost is the ability to be assigned as an "Xref"object
(Google it) but in short none of the hosting plugin allow this with those hosted figures and Collada& FBX export only gives you a weighted rig in the target application without any of the character animation Controls or a proper IK/FK set up with pinned feet etc.

I guess we're talking about two different things. I'm not confusing anything.  But I am talking about the wants and desires and successful importation and use of the DAZ models in the various programs by these small time shops for lesser productions. I'm not alone with my assessment of Vicky and her clan. That's the big reason these guys want to use her along with being cheap. :)  I've seen it for it many years now. The rest falls by the wayside and is of only concern for the houses that have more refined needs and pipelines that you are talking about.
