You didn't have to relearn application use because you use DS.. the OP has been using poser for years, and would have to learn a new application.

No one is dissing DS at all... it's great for what it is. The OP wanted to know if there was a vaild reason to start using DS instead of poser, and while there are some nice things (like the displacement mapping application) there's not enough I don't think to warrant the time investment to relearn a whole new application.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
