Since starting this thread their have been alot of views being made here. Some contraversial!

I have been looking at forum threads at Daz3d and their seems to be alot planned for DS which will rival P6 and its predecessors.

I will continue to use P6 and P5 as well as use DS until I see what developments they have planned for DS.

I have also tried doing animation is DS and its very simple and its great. Daz have indicated they will be releasing a plugin or update for DS soon that will be as good as P6.

DS seems to be more stable than P6 when rendering large scenes of more than 5 human figures and over 20 props including hair and clothing.

Their will be a variety of plugins currently planned some available for free and some for a reasonable cost. We will have to wait and see...

With regard to P7,Curiouslab/E-frontiers have always been upgrading the old P4 engine and always promising to rebuild the Poser from start. They never did! I will only belive it when I see it!
