Quote - Do you still work for DAZ? What's up with that extra 10% off offer from DAZ to those who purchased another rendering product? You should not have access to that information, so you either work at DAZ or someone there is doing you a favor. Either way there appears to be a conflct of interest going on here.
In some defense of Spheric Labs, it appears that as usual, DAZ is mainly in control of the marketing & promotion of their Luxus product. As with other PAs past & present, the language / angle of the marketing strategy (which some would say is a bit dubious) may not be in sync with how Spheric Labs wishes to promote their product. I would hope that if anything in the DAZ strategy for Luxus promotion conflicts with Spheric Labs feelings towards other current or future products of a similar nature in the maketplace, they will voice their concerns to the appropriate channels within DAZ, as any other PA should.

Please don't do this. This feels like a personal attack, even libelous and defamatory.
I don't think anyone wishes, or is trying to defame or libel you personally, or your company as a DAZ PA. There has simply been conversation as to:
1.) The somewhat conspicious timing of the release of Luxus, in conjunction with how DAZ has recently handled some conversations regarding Pret-A-3D products in their forum.
2.) The unique former (or current) positioning within DAZ of the author/owner of the Luxus plugin as it relates to the current market leader in this arena, which is Reality.
Given these unusual set of circumstances, and the passionate support for the Reality products, and equal passion with which their creator has serviced & supported the DAZ, and now Poser, communities, I'm sure you can understand how things said can come off as more heated than they are intended to be. If there is anything you would like to share to allievate some of the mystery & speculation, please feel free to share, or not as is your right as a community member & PA / business owner :-)
OK switching the channel from Lifetime Drama, to the Speed Channel. :-)
Has anyone seen the latest LuxVR test that Lux Dev Dade put together? I for one can't wait to see SLG4 fully realized and then get to really play with it in the next Reality3 once everything is officially set & released by the Luxrender team & Reality3 is updated to accomodate the new features in Lux. (got the CC at the ready for summertime & Reality3 for Studio LOL )
