"""DAZ studio is currently only vapourware"""" While this is true. If you have Mimic 2, you get a bit of a preview of what Daz Studio's open GL Preview, and it is Speedy! In the past I've defended P5 quite a bit, but lately I have to say I'm slightly less inclined to do so. I had to reinstall Poser 4, because Truepose doesn't accept PZ3s saved in P5. So when using both side by side the speed difference becomes quite obvious. I had gotten used to the sluggishness of P5 so I didn't really think it was all that bad. Oh well. I use both now. I still Like P5. I think the interface and Mat room are huge advancements over P4. Cloth is a pretty cool thing to. As is hair, but IMO It is still a broken feature. With Daz Studio not to far off, I'd wait.
