"(Come to think of it, I never had a problem with Poser 5 either)." Yep. Same here. The original release was unstable in some areas, but even before the service releases that corrected those issues, I thought P5 was a great upgrade from P4. Having experience in 3dsMax, things like the cloth room and hair room dynamics are very useful and functional to me. I still have to get the hang of using node-based shaders, but the material room is a powerhouse. As for D|S... I didn't like it (so far). But I won't make a conclusion on it until they fully release it (out of beta), and even then it might be too soon to judge. I think it also has some GREAT potential (with tons of room for some impressive 3rd party plugins), but people are so impatient.
