There are a number of reasons to try Poser's competition, which I've been too set in my ways to explore. I'll have to at least give it a good workout before purchasing the next version of Poser.

Daz is brilliant but has one huge and massive flaw...there's no documentation.  The wiki is years out of date and vastly incomplete.  They have no tutorials worth watching and requests for some are met with simply "look in the forums."
