    My bet is its NVIDIA Omniverse support for Daz

    Better animation IK? (I'm hopeful) :P

    Probablly a decent bet, but if it's right, I really hope that it needs DAZ Studio 5 to work rather than have it cobbled into DAZ  Studio 4.

    I think DAZ figures are going to be turned into life size robots that will do the dishes and vacuum the house while dressed in wild fantasy costumes - sort of what I do myself.

    Anybody remember the Poser Dork? Posette you could kind of do something with, because porn. But the Dork was the ugliest looking thing. Just hideous. I did covers even then, so when I took one look at Mike 2, I bought him, and a CD of his clothes and hair. I think V2 was on there too. I had to have everything on CD because I got hit with computer viruses so often, I'd lose my hard drive and have to reinstall my Poser library from disks. You downloaded, but dialup took forever to download, and I did backups on CDs

    I remember Dork explaining the lessons by Dr. Geep.  Still have Dork and Posette taking up disk space. Dork and Posette talk about the old days walking the halls between meetings.

    Perhaps the big announcement will be that Daz 5.0 will no longer support the legacy rigging of Dork and Posette (and V4...)

    Don't remember anymore, which version of Poser was the first one for me, whether it was Poser 3, 2 or even one, but I do have a faint recollection of having figures with clothing built in (all in one mesh) at some point and others that had clothing painted on the figure.

    The very first 3D figure that I saw, was a clay rendering of a anime figure done in 3D Studio maybe around 94-95

    Poser 3 people had clothes built-in IIRC.

    That was his pet name. LOL

    I started right when Poser 4 was released. Poser Forum Online was the place to be then and people were just starting to share their creations. No sales yet - everyone shared. I think the very first thing I did IIRC, was textures for a pair of Posette's shoes. LOL

    It's definitely 5. I went by the PA Forum, and one of the PAs has been frantically updating plugins. It looked like as many as 10. (Most of which I own, so yay!)

    There have been several days where NOTHING came out but catch-up sales. They always do that kind of thing when they're about to drop a new version. I've been a Daz customer since Mike 2, which I think I bought a CD for. Dayam, I am OLD. This also might explain why there has been no technical service in months -- everybody has been trying to get 5 up and running. (Though that last may be pure speculation.)

    With all the speculation that it's G9, could it be both G9 and DAZ Studio 5? Perhaps G9 would need DS 5? Anyway, in about 24 hours, we should know. 

    As far as figures go, I still have D3, M4, G1, G2, G3, and G8, and, if it is G9, unless it has some wonderful new features, I don't think I'm going to jump right in and buy it. But, knowing me, later on, I probably will buy some of it.

    I'm really hoping for something like DS 5 and Filiment for the Mac users.

    If it is G9 I can possibly forsee the sales of G8 content falling off a cliff, as why buy G8 stuff when G9 is around the corner. Either way as with G8 it will be about a year or more before I buy into any new major figures.

    I know I have ;). I have no need for more females (Genesis 9 or otherwise) and definitely no need for males wearing ladies clothes. LOL I have only a handful of female clothing right now that will look decent on a male. I DO buy those when I see them :P

    The latest email says "The Next Evolution". I can't remember if that was in the previous announcement, but 'next evolution' sounds a lot like Genesis 9 to me.

    And Genesis 9 will probably demand extra features from DAZ Studio to support it, so DAZ Studio 5 may arrive at the same time.

    Of course it could all be just a gigantic tease, and they'll end up releasing support for 3D printing NFTs or something equally pointless, and all the hype was simply a complicated way of pranking the poor forum moderators.

    But I'm leaning strongly toward Genesis 9.

    Back then you could pay to have your purchases burned to a CD. I had the charger, hippocampus, Daz Buck, bass and some other stuff on a CD which I've since lost. And none of those shows up in my product library. ;)

    They already released that one a few years ago, on April 1st. It's what the AI, like wombo or MidJourney, is really using, secretly, in the background.

    Same here, also the items I bought when DAZ was part of Zygote aren't there

    I used to order the CD Burn about once every six to eight months. It was $10 a shot.

    The last time I ordered it, I was asked not to order it again because it was going to take dozens of CDs and days of work. A couple of days later I was asked if I would take a DVD instead.

    I still have my 3.5" diskette from the last beta prior to release.

    Well, 
    I don't think it's connected to NVIDIA, as the most note-worthy connection for Daz would have been the NVIDIA pipe line/omniverse, and it seems Daz is not on there.

    Yes, when I got my CD it was still Zygote ;)

    I really hope it's about an interaction system between objects ( including but not limited to clothing micro-pressure ). That's a badly missing feature.

    Daz hires a marketing team that creates sales and promotions that make sense...?

    Ok maybe mine was on a 3.5 then what I do remember for sure was that it had two version stickers on it one said beta ver the rest was covered by the second that said ver 1.0 something 

    Wish I still had it but it was destroyed in an apartment fire back in 2012 along with everything else I owned

    I came in just as Poser 4 was being replaced with Poser 5.  I still have a ton of those old CD burns, as well as the premade Aiko 3 and Hiro 3 pro bundle CDs, and premade CD versions of Carrara, Bryce, and even the Reby Sky reference photo CD set, all packed in the old software clamcases.  Probably the most eclectic things I still have from those early days, though, are the Aiko 3 and Hiro 3 T-shirts that DAZ briefly made for promotions.  Hmm.  I lost a lot of weight recently, so I wonder if those will fit again?
