There's a couple things I love about D|S : 1) Transparency shows up in the RT preview - Poser's transparency "dots" makes posing stuff like hair a real pain (but it does slow the D|S RT down). 2) Multiple Selections - for both Posing (great for hands so you don't have to bend each finger) and for texturing. 3) D|S file format is a fraction of the size of a .CR2. I had a 21MB Poser file shrink to 1.9MB in the D|S format. 4) DAZ is churning out updates every couple of weeks - while there are still bugs, they've been doing a good job of squashing them. 5) DAZ has said it wants to put posing of DAZ content directly into Bryce via a D|S plug-in. 6) And of course it's free! The biggest problems I have with D|S is: 1) Conforming stuff is often off (ie body parts poke through that doesn't in Poser) and can be really difficult to fix 2) The renderer is really slow 3) RT posing of body parts is really twitchy and often kinda odd although the dials work well. Quite frankly I hope someday I can give up Poser all together 'cause all I want to do is pose DAZ content for use in other apps. Near as I can tell CL is going towards an all-in-one solution which really doesn't do much for me. HTH; Dan
