Quote - My takeaway is simple.  Never, ever, be an early adopter of DAZ software.  You can always let the early adopters find the bugs & get the product free later.

 

Yup! I got Cararra 7 free on a magazine and either got Hex free or 1.99 (can't remember which). Bryce 5.5 was free for years and then I bought 6 when they offered it cheap and it was so buggy I went back to using 5.

I paid for D|S3 and then only used it a couple of times as I discovered that my D|S shaders (created specially for export to Vue - the main reason I used D|S) didn't work in D|S3.

On a side note - Genesis does nothing for me (I'm not one of those who was upset that Genesis isn't compatible with Poser) and now I've got Poser and Vue talking to each other I've really got no use for D|S at all.
