Here is a list of vendors and people involved in the Dawn project for those who have not had a chance to go through the now 24 pages of posts at the free stuff forum.

I know many times people are afraid to invest in a new character for fear it will not be supported, but the list of supporters and developers is quite impressive. If you have not read about the project over in the free stuff thread (it is now a sticky at the top of the thread), the first few posts from the new company HiveWire3D will introduce you to the new character with versions for both Daz and Poser.

I think when you see this list of people involved, it will be clear that this is  not just another 3rd party character that will fade into the twilight, it is definitely "the Dawn of a new day," as they put it.
