The one thing that is sure for me is: We know that DAZ is preparing an ANIMATION and RENDERING software. One would say "it's not the whole Poser". But think again... Rendering is rendering... so far, so good. But ANIMATION... what is animation, if not a series of poses? Wouldnt ANY animation require at least a starting pose, and and end pose? And how are we supposed to animate something like a human figure (the most likely subject of an animation doftware by DAZ), if we can't pose it first? There just HAS to be a posing section. And if there's a posing section... basically, there's a Poser substitute. So... it is obvious that the new DAZ application WILL be a substitute for Poser. It simply CAN NOT not to be.
