Actualy Studio is DAZ's origenal app. DAZ bought Carrara from Eovia at Carrara 5. At that time studio was at 2...... something.

In fact Studio is DAZ's only origenal app. They bought Bryce before Carrara, and Hex with Carrara.

Thing is, Studio is still DAZ's money maker, and why not, isn't that what it was built for? Isn't that why it is free or why the mil 4 figures were free for so long, why genesis is free with studio 4?

How can DAZ sell you content if you don't have an app to use it in or figures to use it on?

I've maintaned for quite some time that studio is one of the best CG sales gimmiks I have ever seen.  I mean really, what good is studio with out content? Before studio had FST you really couldn't do any more with it then load, stage and render content.

The best way for me to sell you gas is to give you a car ;) If you haven't got a car, you certainly don't need gas.
