I've got Daz and have used it occasionally, but I find the file system in Daz3D just too confusing. Most of the time I can't find what I need. I did a few pictures using Genesis and V4 plugins. Turned out okay. I haven't acquired M5. If I could use him in Poser, I would. I still work mainly in Poser. Though Daz has certain features I like, until they find a better way for the file system, it'll be Poser.

To return to the coverart discussion, I've received a number of new requests for covers and all of them said, "No poser figures, please." So,  unless you have one author who does well regardless of her Poser women on the covers, Poser is mostly out for coverart. Sadly. As a publisher, I'd be hunting here for artists wanting to get their name out there... but alas.
