"That is often what the issue is but for a lot of stuff it just cannot be done in DS."

Other than multiple node levels and the Some of the pre-generated noise etc. DS can actually DO much of what poser does. Tiling, shader channel mixing, translucence, SSS, environment channel mixing, and ambient occlusion and some noise can all be added via a free plug in. But you can't count on people having taken the time to download that in order to generate the more complex shading situations that people can for poser.

Very few merchants get carried away in the material room and those are the ones who lose out on potential sales and good will with the Daz only or daz primary users.
