Sorry I don't know how to put the image DOWN to the text, so I use a fake reply to continue.
Specially have a look at the light on the Nanette (it's her name) shoulders. Night and Day. Cloudy and sunny. Dull and brilliant, Sad and happy. just go to the market page, and type "Nanette" in the search engine to get the full size pic, and you will be convinced.

So, what about or poor D|S? Waste basket? Personnaly I'd prefered to spend (If I have had) $249 with nice stuff rather buying P7. After having notice that the $249 price of Poser7 in Europe is... 249 (not $!), after having lurked all around the Daz forum about this subject without finding the most little topic of worrying, after wondering that, even here, (a class upper forum regarding the level of consideations) there was  not really a lot of warning, I was about to decide the killing of sweet models from Santa's gift, and to buy Poser7. What a pitty! But, but...

but just I remembered a good old Software I got last year for $35 in a DAZ-promo bundle, CARRARA5, a software I never used, but which I upgraded for free to Carrara6 in my downloads room at DAZ, just because I like what is free. 

And innocently, I opened the momified box, installed, registered, and loaded the software, and opened the "materials" room. In less than ten minutes I had got the answers to my questions:

Oooohhh! Here are they, my inescapable skin-shaders nodes. Why not build my figures (not full scenes, figures only, separatly rendered) in D|S as usual, and make final render into Carrara6 with these enhanced, rocky, killer, killer functionalities of the C6 engine?

So here is my question: Is it reasonable for me to spend time with learning the use of C6 to work around the terrific Lack-late-lag of D|S, or should I immediately renounce to a lot of my purchases for the price of Poser6?

Thanks for Your answers. I post this on booth Rsity's Carrara Forum and Rsity's Daz|studio forum simultaneously.

Good place here. Friendly, LocusSolus.
