 " D4 is better than Poser4!" It really IS!

I've spent some hours playing with D4. I think it blows Maya and 3D studio right out of the water! JUST kidding.

 Positives: 1) Genesis: See attached comparison.Daz sells a program that will let you use V4 clothing on Female Genesis, and M4...

  The bending really is far superior with Genesis

                2)The relational data base is nice. Select the Hair- and only textures and morphs FOR that Hair show up.

                 3) AniBlocks is an interesting concept- don't know if you can get under the hood and modify them though.

 In Poser I have movement poses, and materials poses all in the same folders- mostly identfied by the creators name rather than by WHAT they are.I can rename and rearrange them-but it is tedious- and I frequently FORGET what I have installed- Hmmmn what is that under "Sarsa?"

  Negatives: Rendering Engine- blech!"Reality" Plug in- looks great- but seems to take a very long time.

                  Lighting: blech!

                 TOO simplified- I likes to "tinker under the hood"

Simple Summary: staying with PoserPro2010- better lighting and texturing (IMHO)

and plays well with Vue, and Lightwave, and CD4, etc.
