I've ordered myself copies, but I'll wait until the DAZ servers stop getting hammered before I try to download.

Having said that...

It may be nice to try a new verson of DS, but I had the old 0.x betas and couldn't get the hang of them. I feel like I'm finally making headway with Poser's material room, and there's no way I'm abandoning PP2012 for DS. The main use will be testing out products if I ever start making content.

Bryce, I'm not that bothered by. I haven't upgraded my Vue Infinite since version 8, but it still does pretty much everything I need. I did have an earlier version of Bryce (4, I think), and my experience of that led me to seek out Vue.

Hexagon 2.5 I already have. I got the $1.99 version of Hexagon years ago, so the upgrade wasn't such a bad deal.

So for me, a little meh. But I still ordered them :D

However, I do know people who've expressed an interest in 3D but balked at the price of Poser. I've always urged them to try DS - the free versions always struck me as excellent value for money. I'll certainly be letting them know about this.
