Quote - I'm curious and I know it's probably to early to tell, but will all the new features for reality in poser be able to be implemented with DS afterwards, or will there be app specific things that won't transfer?

It's not too early at all, I mentioned this back in August when R34P was first annoucned. All the features will be there. Of course ther will be differences in the way materials are converted. Studio's materials are often not quite as elaborate as the Poser ones, since Poser mats make full use of procedural nodes and such. While Studio has gained a similar system in the past two years or so, almost no vendor is using it. On the other hand Poser's node system is well established and it's used by many vendors.

As a result I noticed that a few material packages return nicer results when converted from Poser into Reality than from Studio to Reality. Pretty funny isn't it? On the other hand you will have all the power to edit the materials in Reality and take advantage of all the procedural textures that will be available. 

I have to say that I am quite impressed with where Smith Micro is going with Poser. 

Cheers.
