"In regards to texturing, a more straight forward approach in Studio would be very welcomed. All the wires and connections and floating pallates of cryptic properties in P5 is enough to drive a 3D hobbiest" No offense but this is just wrong. IMO the mat room is WAY easier to comprehend than the old Poser way, once you take the 15 minutes it takes to grasp the concept. The Mat room is hands down the one thing Poser 5 got 120% right, the thought of dumbing it down makes me sad. I feel that many poser users are just too set in their ways to bother even trying to learn it... I have to wonder what they are gonna do when faced with a COMPLETELY new interface in Daz studio... I can't help but think many who held out for DS because they thought P5 was "too hard" (genuine bugs not withstanding) will be sorely sissapointed.
