Just jumping in quickly to say that we do intend to have animation capabilities as well as Posing. Taylor Wilson our CTO and lead programmer on the the project has a very strong background in animation. He has programed several highend animation tools for his previous employer House of Moves. Our goal with DAZ Studio is to produce a one hour made-for-television Christmas special. We are also hoping that if the animation tools are intuitive enough that there will be more than 12 or so animators.

I am glad that several people have pointed out the importance of not expecting too much too soon with DAZ Studio. On the other hand it is also fun to see that our scope for the project is in line with what many of you are looking for.

Thanks to everyone for all of the excitement shown and kind responses to the post. It is encouraging to see that so many people are excited to see what we are developing. We will try to keep everyone informed on the progress as well as a projected date of when people can start playing with DAZ Studio as we get a little closer.

Sincerely,

Dan Farr
