Apropos to nothing whatsoever, I've seen over the last couple hundred pages of this thread a variety of issues people have had.  Not saying that this is the issue with any  particular problem; but, when I'm having difficulties doing something that I want to do either in studio or luxrender I ask myself a simple question.  Am I trying to get my car to make coffee?  Cars are made to take you from point a to point b; coffee makers are made to well.. make coffee.  So, if you're having an issue with Daz Studio, Reality or Luxrender; are you trying to make the software do something it wasn't designed or equipped to do.  Not all programs are capable of doing everything that we, as users, can dream up.  That's why they make upgrades.  Usually it's because enough people ask for one thing; or, one person asks for one important omission to be included.  Think about that before you think that a particular piece of software is broken because it won't do what you want it to do.
