I like D/S, but one of the issues using it for me is the rendering engine. Although some have different experiences, for me the rendering engine in D/S is awefully slow, especially if I want to have the same quality I do get with Poser. I'm not talking 5 minutes, but for some larger scenes ( I do mainly work with multiple figure scenes, very large at times ), but for some scenes it's 30 mins up to 2 hrs.
The second engine is the lights. I do find that Poser's lighting system is still far ahead of D/S and to even come close you have do some major investments into D/S.
The last major issue I have with D/S is the lack of a material room. Poser excells in this. I do use the material room in Poser a lot to tweak and change materials to my liking. This for is the big one missing in D/S.
Again contrary to a different post, I do get a lot of out of error crashes with D/S, especially when doing multiple figure scenes. I've compared scenes, build some in Poser, redid the same in D/S and D/S simply uses up to 25% more memory for the same scenes. Scenes I can render in Poser will not render in D/S at all.
But I do like the way D/S is set up and the interface is pretty good also, but I must admit I did get used to Poser also, so I'm not sure which one has my preference.
