DAZ has been conspicuously absent from these latest threads. Any word on what--if any--preparations or products being developed for P5? If anything's in the works, hows about a peek?

DAZ has been extremely busy building new products for Poser (more products than we ever have at any time before). These products are intended to support the upcoming Poser 5 as well as those who may decide not to upgrade to P5 immediately. Here are some sneak peaks into a few things that we have been working on and will be released in the very near future.

We have been working with Anton on a new project that will be very exciting for everyone that is a fan of his work. It is something that involves him as well as a few of the very talented texture map artists that have been working with him. We are very excited about this. I will contact Anton and ask him to post some of his works-in-progress in this thread.

The last few months we have been working busily away on a version 3 of one of our female millennium figures (I cant be specific at this time but her name starts with a V). We have some really great new features that will definitely make this figure worthy of being a version 3. I cant say anymore at this time but expect to see some previews coming fairly soon.

Tomorrow, we are releasing a Millennium beard pack that contains over 136 morph targets, 44 transparency maps, 38 material groups and 137 mat poses for styles and room to create many more styles. This really is a very versatile product and can be used in conjunction with any Michael texture maps and hairstyles.

And last but definitely not least we have been building a Millennium Dragon. This Dragon has 70 head morphs and over 20 body morphs. It has folding wings with ERC. It has a great texture template for customizable texture maps.

This may seem like a little too much hype but we really do not want people to think that our silence lately has any correlation with the lack of support of Poser. On the contrary, our silence is due to that fact that we are working harder than we ever have before to turn out some great products.

P.S. We will try to sneak out a Victoria 3 texture map preview before too long.

Oh Dan!! That Dragon looks fabulous!!!!!!!! Is that an update for the old Dragon? Or a whole new new one! I can not wait to see what ya'll have in store. Very exciting!!!!!!

OOOh, so we have Vicky 3?! A new Dragon? And is that beard the same as Anton's Poseable/Fantasy Beard? If so, do owners of the previous version get a free or cheap update?

Wow - that dragon looks wonderful! -dg

Is the V3 texture map going to be completely new? I'm trying to map Vicki to take Stephanie's textures. Is there any way to get V3 to use Mike/Stephanie's maps? It would seriously be nice to mix and match. If that isn't the case, could there be a Mike/Steph remap to take the Vicki3 texture map? Also, can the spikes be hidden on the dragon? Most dragon riders would find your dragon very uncomfortable.

wow, that's a whole lotta polies in it's legs!

Breards, dragons, and Vicky, oh my! I want the dragon! Can you give us an idea of the release date? Peggy

Thanks for all the good news! That dragon is looking real nice. Hmmmm.... I wonder if "V3" will be collision-detection enabled? Can't wait for a look at Anton's works-in-progress. Thanks again.

dag, there is a V3 on the horizon? Excellent.

Hi There, It is hard to say exactly what P5 will mean towards new content creation. It may or may not have much impact but here are some WIP renders. Regards, Anton

your makeup is wonderful, and the hair with the pearls is lovely. :) Very cool images.

I love it all! But I have to say the 18th century gown is gorgeous even in its wip stage!

Were those done with p5 or p4?
