Meh... I use 'em both... still. D|S more than Poser, though. I can tell you this: It's a lot easier to get stuff done in D|S (...and not just becuase I know the guts of D|S, either). I keep Poser around because I only have C5 Pro (second-hand, and C6 is coming... as soon as the IRS deigns to cut me some refund dough). I also keep Poser around because sometimes there are a couple of tricks I know for building characters that I can only do in Poser. OTOH, newbies don't know those little bit (e.g. the hierarchy editor), and from their POV, D|S is hella easier to use (just in my opinion). As for which will reign supreme? My answer is (for now) Neither. Poser still has a lot of folks in the pro community who reach downwards to them (whereas DAZ has to do all of its reaching upwards). The pro community knows the Poser brand name (trust me, they certainly don't piss on Poser when the deadlines are tight and resources are short...). Meanwhile, D|S is still getting its name out there. That said, IMHO D|S + Carrara is vastly superior, judging on what I've seen them capable of doing seperately. Once I get C6, I think I can ditch Poser entirely, using Carrara to do what Poser does now. /P
