Since you already have Poser, play with the included figures. The add-on morph packs for the Poser Generation 2 females and males are very inexpensive at RuntimeDNA - search for the ultimate head and body morphs. The Poser Generation two females are

Sydney (Caucasian, comes with Poser)

Olivia (separate purchase, African)

JessiG2 (Caucasian)

Males:

Simon (Caucasian, comes with Poser)

Kelvin (African, separate purchase)

JamesG2 (Caucasian)

KojiG2 (Asian, separate purchase)

The Poser Generation 2 figures can share clothing, the heads are different.

JamesG2 and JessiG2 are available as a free download if you have a valid Poser serial number. Basically, if you have Poser, you already have Sydney, Simon, JessiG2 and JamesG2. You can add the extra morphs for very little money, they are all in the Deep Freeze section at RDNA, heavily discounted.

All these figures work in the Poser face room, and also come with additional face shaping morphs. If you add the 'ultimate' morphs, you have a huge amount of versatility.

Poser user taking here - I freely admit that I am not objective. I am not sure how much you have to spend on Daz add-ons to equal the functionality of Poser - every now and then I begin to add it up and then stop. Dynamic cloth and hair for instance, seem very expensive for Daz Studio. And I don't know if Daz Studio has anything like Poser's morph brush. In Poser Pro, you can weight-map any figure with one click.
