Jack, That revelation is staggering. I mean STAGGERING. What an assinine thing for CL to do. Anyone, I mean anyone who has tinkered with the millenium characters can tell after 5 minutes of exposure to Judy that she isn't in the same league as Vicky. No diss at all to Colm and RDNA, it's just a simple fact. You can't blame them for promoting their creation. Heck I think it's cool they're in there so we have more default figures to play with. But, I mean come one, or in the words of Val (Kevin Bacon) from Tremors, "What the hell is going on? I mean what THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Someone explain to me why DAZ would want to pay to have their commercial characters included in P5? Is there a financial kickback for that? Are Syyd and Colm getting a slice for their fine work included in P5. How about all the awesome stuff on the bonus content cd? Those guys getting a little something something? I mean shouldn't it be the other way around with DAZ? Barring some radical change of attitude toward content providers, I'd be willintg to wager CL won't be the ones developing Poser 6. I mean, do they really think their users wouldn't flock in droves to any competitor that offer a more stable program? What it all comes down to is that instead of using the 3 years to recode Poser from the ground up into a new program, I guess they were preoccupied with how to protect their intellectual property. If DAZ codes a software from the ground up, it is almost guranteed to be a more solid peice of software. Furthermore if they have the vision to offer it for around $200 and just use a simple serial registery, we'll see who is screwing whom. The landscape of this community will look very different. and where some of the Giant kids are today, there may be a big ass greasy spot tommorrow.
