Daz can pursue this NFT/Crypto scheme because they have very little to worry about alienating the hobbiest /still render market....and why would they??
Poser is on full life support largey funded by selling Daz Genesis 8 female products in the RMP. but it cost $200 USD with no true ,Full genesis supportand LF&LH are not viable alternatives to genesis.
The still render hobbiests will continue to buy from Daz despite the canting screeds posted ,in the Forums, against NFT and Daz's association with them... LOL!!! background noise on the plantation.
Sure a small few will use Blender( via the bridge plugins) but only for Cycles as an alternative to NIVIDA Iray ...for stills to render Daz content they buy from the Daz store
And Iclone/CC3 pipeline requires a combined minimum $400 USD buy-in to "transform" genesis figures and clothing into CC3 avatars. And you lose your precious HD morphs /JCMs and have a crap render engine that cannot even do screen space reflections unless you $$$Buy a plugin$$ to use the very same IRay engine Daz studio includes at ZERO cost.
The serious animators like TimVining( Star Trek Aurora) have already left so Daz need not bother getting serious about a proper IK system in Daz studio.
UE 4/5 with the meta-humans is too complicated for the average DS user with notable exceptions Like Wendy who is on a soft ban from community participation.
So yeah I would Say Daz inc is in a pretty safe position right now.
