I haven't used DS to any degree because it choked to death on my old computer with 256 Mb RAM. Now that I've got a new computer, I've installed it, but haven't gotten around to using it. The posing conventions were just different enough that I was frustrated when I tried to use the program. At the moment, since it seems to be the general comment above, there's nothing yet that is compelling enough to push me to use it again other than as a gateway to Bryce. For someone who doesn't want to spend $200 for a posing program, DS is a great place to start. Although DS & Poser make it easier to use 3D models, it's still not something that a person will do well overnight. The lack of a large accumulation of Poser extras also limits what a new person can do. DS becomes a free way of playing around with the program to see if it merits a greater investment in time and money. Once somebody develops a certain comfort level with the programs, it's possible to produce very good work.
