This is all pretty awesome. My guess though is that if Dawn sees too much early success, DAZ will counter by suddenly doing an about-face and putting out a true Poser figure based on Genesis 2. Hopefully if that happens, no one takes the bait, because we've all seen now what DAZ's ultimate goal is.

Even if the first Dawn doesn't completely knock my socks off, I plan to support her and HiveWire as a customer, because every dollar given to them is a vote against DAZ platform despotism. And if HiveWire manages to survive that turbulent early period and get more $$$ and more merchants and modelers on board, their future releases should rival anything DAZ is capable of. The main thing is giving them a lot of early support, when they need it most!
