Quote - It's free but ... without plug ins !

I'm a Poser 6 user.
However, while Daz|Studio is free and you have to purchase the plugins for what you want to use, the fact that the plugins are a-la-carte gives you the option of purchasing only those features that you really want access to. 

Also, I saw in a mailing that there is now a cloth room plugin for dynamic cloth.  That will make the program even more appealing.

I've tried Daz|Studio, but I can't get my head wrapped around the interface. But then again I'm really stupid when it comes to learning programs and it took me more than a year to figure out Poser and a full 6 months before I actually managed to get a figure dressed, posed and rendered and that was only with the help of someone finally walking me through the whole process.

I'll stick with Poser and save myself the frustration of trying to learn another program that essentially does what Poser does.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
