Jaqui-

Thanks for asking for clarification on that issue; you are right that there is a huge difference between those two scenarios. Your second scenario is what I was referring to. We're still early enough in development that I don't want to promise specifics, so let me just say that we have always been keenly aware that it's absolutely necessary to make DAZ Studio easily extensible by third parties.

Vitzer-

When you say "I'm just plain old vitzer" do you mean plain old Vitzer who claims to be a long-time Poser user and online community member, and yet who only created his user member ID at Renderosity and PoserPros the day before making that claim (September 25)? To me it is obvious that you are more than just plain old Vitzer and likely somebody who needs to hide behind an alias to protect his identity. Anyway, if people want to, they can read your previous posts and form their own conclusion as to who you might be. This may also to help people to determine your motives and sincerity with your questions.

Be that as it may, Ill move on to your questions.

Does your outside developer plan mean that I won't be able to cut and paste the content files?
No, it means that you won't need to. It means that users without programming (or text file hacking) skills will be able to easily create and distribute their work, and it means that those who do have programming skills will really be able to add to or modify this program.

You think there will be a spinout here thatll be a Daz studio forum and a poser forum?
Thats a good question. Maybe you should direct that to the forum owners.

Sincerely,

Dan Farr
