DAZ 3 and 4 user here.  I'm excited about this new figure and look forward to working with it.  It's certainly good to see all the well-known names involved.  

And a tip-of-me-hat to a) all the HiveWire folks who are keeping us informed of progress, and to b) Paganeagle2001 for the update work throughout the thread.

Good vibes here.  It's been quite positive.  Cool.
