I have played with DAZ Studio alpha, its a promising beginning but right now Poser 4/5 even with its awful memory management its lack of undos and opengl support is still way ahead of DAZ Studio, perhaps in another year we might have the Poser 5 killer many people thought we would have. I'm only hoping DAZ doesn't starts to gradually phase its Poser support. My favorite Studio tool has to be the partial rendering tool, that rocks! I have to say rendering and screen response is way slower than Poser 4/5 and I'm running Windows 2000 Pro in a 2.53 GHZ, 1 Gig high speed 1066 Rambus Ram computer with a GeoForce card. There is a reason 3D Studio Max still has software z-buffer as its default 3D engine, sometimes opengl is not the best solution.
