I actually started with DAZ Studio....wanted Poser, but couldn't afford it. Then when CP was giving ver. 5 away, I snapped it up! Let it sit for quite a while before getting up the courage to learn how to use it; haven't looked back since! Skipped ver. 6, then up graded to 7. I still like Studio, but can't get it to run on my new pc. P7 has no problems at all with it, so I'm not complaining at all!  :D
