At the time I was taking photographs and running then thru photoshop using an AVKIS plugin to add effects and make them look like colored charcoal drawn images. At the time the detail of the final image wasn't that important for the friend I was doing this for. Then he sent me an image somebody had rendered of V2 in a pose and or scene more appropriate to what he wanted for a story he was going to use it in. I downloaded whatever the current version of Daz Studio was at the time and it crashed and crashed and crashed and when it didn't the interface was impossible to figure out. So I gave up and went back to my Photoshop routine.

Then just before V4 came out he sent me image of V3 this time and pointed me to this website and more importantly this forum and thread that compared Poser 6 (I believe was the verison at the time) to Daz Studio. I ordered a boxed version of Poser at the time and after a zillion mistakes (like not understanding that V2 came with no texture sets :laugh:) the rest is history other then to say my renders still look like crap at times.
