This is the totally wrong thing for Daz to do even from a business standpoint. If the Poser 5 models are even HALF as good as Vicki and Mike, merchants will drop them like hot potatoes and switch to models they CAN make clothes and morphs for. And if enough merchants do this, the user market will make the switch, too. I haven't been too happy with daz for a number of reasons lately, but this really takes the cake. Why bother putting in all those morphs if the models are meant to be used in their default (boring) states? For still images it's not THAT big of a deal.. people can postwork clothes onto models. I guess that wouldn't be an infringement in Daz's eyes, unless they feel that drawing "morphed" clothing could infringe on their copyright because people could make morphs SIMILAR to mike and vicki 2 based on those pictures.. (Sorry, just HAD to say it. ;) But for people making animations, clothing is key. I hope Poser 5 has some decent models and the ability to clothe them right in the package. It's what Daz deserves at this point.
