Quote - I can't even figure out how to load a figure, let alone a texture, in Daz|Studio. I've opened it, clicked around, got frustrated and closed it.

Yep, that was me when I first tried Daz|Studio like a year ago, exact same thing, clicked around and couldnt figure out how to load a figure, I tought the interface was criptic back then.

But a few weeks ago I decided to give it another try, watched an interface overview on youtube and a few minutes later I was rendering.

At least PowerPose is worth a try, really, even if you hate the program.

Its all about personal prefference like you all said =)
