Not sure if I want to put myself through that hell again lol.
One of the reasons I do not use Daz Studio is:
They are frequently releasing a New Version.
It's like 2 Steps forward and 1 Step Backwards.
One never knows What has been broken this time.
Were as Daz uses the Ala Carte - 3rd Party Retail Plug-Ins method, one never knows from version to version if your Plug-Ins will work any longer. Daz isn't always forth coming with Plug-Ins updates (probably because they come from Independant 3rd party merchants).
Maybe just my personal feelings, I do not like the Ala-Carte method of Sales. Yeah sure, the Base Free Version is lean as some like it. Then start buying all those Plug-Ins to do, In Daz's own way, similar things that Poser does and you can easily spend as much as Poser 7 costs and still have No Dynamics, Rigging, Cloth Roon, Hair Room, Material Room etc etc etc.........
Going on 3 years now with Daz Studio developement. If and When they do release these Dynamic Cloth Room etc etc, they will not be compatible with Poser use, in the beginning and one can expect to spend a substantial amount to make them functional for design and sales.
At there present rate of Added Poser like Features, it could be years more. Ok, I know Daz wants to Get It Right. I am all in favor of that as well. "Daz Soon" should be in Websters though.I thave tried every new version released since the 1st Beta, DS is still "not my cup of tea".
If and when Daz gets Studio to a point where they actually have a version that isn't updated for months or possibly a year, I will look at it again.
If you have been using Poser for years and frequently use the Material Room, Rigging, Hair Room, Lighting etc etc...., Unless you are willing to spend $$s, you will probably think Daz Studio as a new milleniun Poser 4.
