Had it not been for Daz being free some years ago I doubt if I would be spending my time creating 3D renders right now.  At some point I found Poser and have stayed with it through Poser 6, 7, 8, 2010 and now 2012.    No doubt the Daz free programs will bring more to the hobby over this month and some will not use it more than to dabble but some will become hooked.  Some may even use Daz4 and Genesis and also buy more content, not only at Daz but elsewhere.  Some might, like me, move to Poser in the future and maybe even go further and make a living from 3D in some form.  I do feel sorry for those that paid for the program over 30 days ago but other than that everything else I have said appears to be fairly positive for the 3D community.

You know, I hear a lot of people in this forum say "if DS hadn't been free, I wouldn't be using Poser now" Somehow I doubt Daz intented that their software be a stepping stone to Poser But in a lot of cases I know of it seems that way ;).
