I think it might really be different this time.  Because, as wimvdb put it, of the "natural barrier" that now exists between Vicky 5 and Poser.  DAZ used to be the path of least resistance; now it isn't.

As for me, I just spent a ridiculous amount of money at RDNA's half price sale, getting stuff like Python scripts and dynamic clothes.  Looking forward to playing with them over the long weekend. 

And hopefully learning how to shade realistic eyes.  Some really nice examples posted here and at RDNA, but so far, I haven't been able to achieve it myself.  If anyone wants to make a Poser 9 eye pack for Antonia or V4/M4, I would be first in line to buy it.
