Quote - Which is probably what the DAZ givaway is attempting to stop, or at least, mitigate.  If users get a chance to play with the top of the line version of D|S4, they may decide it's worth sticking with.  If the free version owners have to make a small outlay for an upgrade, they may think it's worth doing so and using PP2012. Put it this way, if they didn't have the opportunity to do so before, due to cost or whatever, there's no reason to not at least try it out now.  Unless, of course, you're like me with an ancient system that won't run it.  Then again, I wouldn't be able to run PP2012, either, so I'm stuck for now.  Hopefully I'll have both up and running later this year. 

Well, I bit. Downloaded it. My limitation, however, is time. I work full-time as a nurse, run a household and so my Poser projects sort-of get squeezed in there somewhere, time permitting. So, once I get rigging figured out (and a figure successfully rigged for Poser), weightmapping figured out (same deal), wxPython script GUIs writing nailed down, dynamic cloth design firmly in my portfolio, Pose2Lux material creation easily doable and some of the more sophisticated aspects matmatic clear in my head (getting there, I think!) I'll probably have some time for DS4 Pro.

This is one of the main reasons I'm staying with Blender for modelling and not saving up for modo, which I would love: time. Takes time to learn software and techniques. I already know Blender and it's evolving (BMesh not far away). Time is too precious. And too scarce.
