I absolutely DETEST Poser. I use it only because I have to. If there was an easy way to import Daz's figures into other apps like LW or C4D, I'd use them, instead. The last Poser upgrade (ver. 5) shows just how far the CL team has their heads stuck in their collective behinds. We've been asking for OpenGL support for YEARS now, plug-in frameworks and optional render-engines. P5 added a bunch of gook I'll never use, and bogged down what little pep P4 had. CL didn't listen, they plowed ahead and ignored a great many requested features...features that are commonly found in other, low priced packages. D|S has OpenGL, plug-ins, optional rendering engines (or at least, the ability to add them later) and the CPU overhead is a FRACTION of the stress Poser puts on a system. WIll I jump ship when D|S arrives? Absolutely!
