They've answered some questions on Twitter.
Looks like they plan to pay the creators which models are used to create a new character some money.
So that's the "AI" version of the metamixer toolkit (which i even didn't install)
I think they'd be happy if they could retire Daz and _only_ sell 3D thirst traps. Only one of those makes them money.
EDIT: Actually no, I don't think that. They took away the platform advantage from Poser, they probably wouldn't want to just give it away to Nvidia. But only because it would limit their ability to sell 3D assets.
The Daz characters are way to "special" to sell them only as assets.
Iray will limit the usage to Daz (or you are very good at reshading in other programs), the Daz rig isn't compatible to any other program, the mesh (at least G8) isn't good enough for softbodies and a few other things.
Daz 5 has been postponed now for ... 3 times?
Without even knowing what it will bring.
First trying to lure people to 8.1, after that failed (i guess) the G9 - which isn't working with Blender (or other programs, as of now).
So no improvement there, just raising the prices and jumping on every marketing bullshit bingo that's out there.
