It's not a bother, Bushy... it's just the question has been asked about 50 billion times, and a ton of opinions and discussions and yadayadayada has ensued to clog cyberspace, all of them sounding alarmingly similar. So, have a look at "search", then feel free to ask a more specific question, such as:

"I already have Poser 8 and am not totally impressed... I also have Daz Studio - the free one - but it's sort of not quite what I had in mind. I really wish I had a modeller, superior renderer and material management of some of the big programmes out there. Any suggestions?"

Then, I'd have one word for you: Blender.
