And as if I hadn't blathered on long enough, I'll quickly add that I went back to the PoserPros thread and looked at the unpleasantness between CL and DAZ. According to kupa, DAZ had to pay for them to do work that would make V3 compatible with the Face Room. It seems reasonable to ask for payment for work performed, though the amount is almost always subject to debate. Moreover, though kupa did not mention this, I always thought that the Face Room looked like a variation on things companies like Singular Inversions were doing with apps like FaceGen. Lo and behold, SI is one of the companies contributing to P5...most likely the specially created head based on averaging head scans of about 40 real people. That mesh, and the surrounding tech and R & D is not cheap, and it seems possible (though this is purely speculation now) that SI receives a portion of any fee paid to CL to make sure that a figure works with the Face Room. The greater number of entities involved, the more intellectual property to be monetized, the larger the fees are likely to be.
