It's going to be interesting to see how they can really deliver an application with one developer- Taylor Wilson. How are they going to test DAZ studio? Add on new testers? Build a network of external testers like CL did for P5? And test the openGL on all those vearious hardware cards as well? How about the ability to edit figure data like you can with in a CR2? Is every tool builder that makes a Poser compatible product now going to either go out of business- morph manager comes to mind- or be forced to revise their tool to now support two different file formats and forge a split in the community? And even worse, is DAZ going to use some form of closed and protective binary file format for their content that won't be user editable- that ties into old the DAZ debacle related to their strangle-hold on distribution of CR2 data related to their content. Oddly enough, that heat on DAZ was extinguished by the California Dreaming thread. Remember how that discussion just mysteriously stopped when CL gave us something else to talk about? What a community we are. And it sounds like DAZ has a real "community" building product here ;)
