Quote - Again, I want to indicate that I have no issue with the road that DAZ is taking and the one that SM is taking and if they are different roads, then they are different roads.  I think I understand that each wants to be in control of it's own tech and own destiny.  I'm not really DS-hostile at all, I'm just pro-Poser.  And I have hardcore DSer friends and I enjoy seeing their renders, it's not a issue for me.  Maybe that makes me an odd fellow. :)

P.S.: Some editing for clarity.

 

I don't think that makes you odd and I have a sneaking feeling that is the way most Poser and DS users feel.  There are people on both sides that take the view that is should be done this way or else the company that doesn't is lost.  I can't prove it but I suspect they are the minority but more vocal, all the others users just carry on creating their art using whatever programs they prefer.

The only thing that maks your position different, not odd, is that where you see something missing, or something you feel could be implemented better you create a utilty or add on to make life easier.  This puts you in a position to explain the situation from a facutal basis with an aknowledge leaning to Poser at present.

I find that not only imformative but also a refreashing change from the Daz and SM bashing that seems to be the norm.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
