There has been a constant stream regarding the free version of DS and the "Standard version of Poser" that tend to disregard some basic facts.
DS Standard does not have a material/shader room. It does not come with even the basic legacy rigging tools. It does not come with a sketch render option. It does not even do basic shadow catching. You either need to purchase the Advanced version of DS, an add on, or plugin.
Yes, the current standard version of DS is free but it lacks several important features that are part of Poser's basic price. It's not uncommon to have new users asking how to do something and being told they have to purchase an upgrade, an add on or a plugin.
