First let me say that I think all competition is good...good for the end user and good for competing companies. Just like a sports team, sometimes the vetern becomes complacent...but the backup pushes the vetern to new heights.
The competition I'm speaking of is DAZ and SmithMicro.

If you look at the pre SM merger/take over of Poser, DAZ made a significant move with a new Carrara (wasn't it months before?). Now we have a new V4, some old Poser sites are now moving to new camps. Also, some old vets stopped visiting/posting here (won't name whom I'm thinking of...but to me it's obvious).
For an honest observation...explore this forum, now go explore DAZ's forum.

How do you feel? What do you think?
