Indeed the economics of it make it a very tough sell even to users in naturally adjacent ecosystems like Daz studio.
Right now there is a thread on the Daz forums
with some users oozing with glee over this one
product that sort of does in Daz studio what Motion puppet does in Iclone
But telling them about how Iclone can do this already means nothing when the cost to use Iclone is so much higher than Daz which ,(Like UE5) , is free.
With many of the new YT videos I see showcasing the new UE5
with included MetaHumans
the comment sections are full of people saying that they are “done paying for Reallusion products”
This does not bode well for the future
