Well i have the updated version of DAZ studio 0.9.8.5, i have got a few items i can use in it which i bought or i used their free voucher on(around 17 items total). I have it installed once again and only because i needed something i could use for a poser prop to convert it over for bryce. I have never used Poser so i can't compare both programs. I will say one thing though i hope DAZ come up with a better interface on their program or make it easier for a learner to use, the help you recieve from their forum as little to talk about, the help file is confusing for new users, they lack good pr when trying to deal/help new users. Oh well lets just hope they sort out a few issues with DAZ Studio before it goes on the market, well it is still a beta test version.
