Randall, what are the plans for 'Studio Online'? Is it something that will be developed into a full fledged service? Clearly it's only a start - I assume that's what 'devcenter' in the URL indicates. At this point, the rendering doesn't seem to do anything but output an unrendered image of the scene, and obviously there is only minimal content and options.
Having said that, fleshed out, it could be your best selling tool for DS4. It really leads to a new of thinking about figures, being able to combine and change them on the fly and have the clothing fit any shape. If you could output this into Vue or have DS host Ozone, I'd be casing a bank right now :-)
Add the entire DAZ content library, account management, storage, render farm infrastructure etc. and you have something that might be pretty compelling for some people. If you tie it in with the application on the local machine it might be possible to start a scene at home, upload just the description of the content, lighting, poses etc. and then continue working on it from anywhere or vice versa. Make it happen - call it '3D Everywhere'. You can buy me a new PC to pay for the name.
