Moriador! That was my reason exactly! :-) I played with it for awhile. It kept crashing. Finally a more stable version 4 came out. I played. I corresponded with the Daz "pros" who claimed that Daz could match PoserPro2012 with SSS. Never saw it. In the real world-if you back light ears-they show red "glow". Poser can do that- Daz can't. Ultimately-it was render quality.

The lighting philosophy (Hollywood Blvd Street Light Thingie) is also quite counter intuitive for those who have been users of other programs (Lightwave, Carrara, Poser, etc).

But mainly it was the Blue Underwear issue that I could not work around

Quote - Most people don't use Daz Studio because someone told them that it only works when they wear blue skivvies, and they are philosophically opposed to wearing blue underwear.

God, who the hell knows why "most" people do anything?

I don't use DS because I can't get good renders out of it, and Luxrender is way, way too slow.

I mean, I hate the interface and I don't get the hollywood blvd street city light thingie settings or whatever at all. They make no sense. But if it rendered like Firefly in a similar amount of time, was fully documented in a downloadable PDF, and was relatively stable -- I'd use it.
