Wow, that just shows how vastly different people perseive things. For me the Blender learning curve is me beating my head against a vertical brick wall.

If load and shot makes you happy, it makes DAZ happy. No really, if you have fun just loading, staging, and rendering, have fun. I don't.

So when some one gripes about having to take 3 minutes to reset a shader I tend to over react. I wish I could be happy just spending 3 minutes on a shader :lol:

I have Antonia, she used to be prettier.

If I looked at Blender as a "be all, end all", I'm sure it would be a daunting task, but as I'm looking for a modeler to either compliment or replace Wings, it means I only have to look at that one area for now.  The rest may come later, or may not.

Um, getting a .obj out of poser isn't exactly a daunting task, but getting it into Povray with an acceptable result can be a bit of thought.  Then come setting lights, media, playing with the textures, don't forget to turn the eye cover to transparent unless you like white eyeballs without the other parts. For some reason Poseray seems to consistently miss that one.

Textures?  I've spent days on a texture in Povray, which is fine for my purposes, because that's where I'll do the finished render, including atmospheric media, fog, lights, radiosity.  But a texture that works beautifully in Povray doesn't work in anything else, and rendering a plane with that texture is kinda somewhat maybe looks like it, the only thing that interprets the code correctly is povray.

I have Antonia WM and the Advanced morphs from RDNA, a little dial spinning and she can be anything you want her to be.  Played with the conforming clothing today, didn't really expect much from conforming, but the DAZ PA's could take lessons from these guys.  I've never seen clothing fit that well.  Dynamic is even better.  She's a magnificent piece of work, as are the morphs for her.  Total cost so far less than eighteen bucks.  Anything you want her to be, within reason, that is.  Meaning a human female.  There's a lot happening in 3d, and DAZ isn't the "Firstest with the mostest", they're just another one of many.

The "I" in Doric is Silent.
