I tried Poser because I saw someone using it to create Paint Shop Pro picture tubes .
It was a resource hog but it got me hooked on 3D art so in my searches I found Daz Studio.
I loved it immediately. I found it easy to start learning and it allowed me to concentrate on composing art instead of constantly crashing. :D
I push it as far as I can and thats pretty far sometimes.  Some of my compostitions have as many as 20-25 "props"  in a scene. I love doing scenes as opposed to a single subject.
I'm still learning and not all that good..but Daz allows me to do it without worrying about the cost or using all my resources or freezing my pc.
I recently started learning Bryce and love it too.
Some other galleries still don't even recognize Daz Studio yet. :(
