As a new convert to Poser (January this year), I always thought the Daz/Poser wars were just about what program you used. Having looked at these forums, I have discovered it goes far deeper than that. It appears that unless you use Poser and only Poser native figures etc, you are an outsider and don't belong here. Well that is fine with me but you will find with this attitude, you will not attract new people and the community will dwindle and die.

 

Well welcome to the world of 3D I hope you enjoy your art whatever software you use.  As to the forums, if you stick around will find that there are only a small number of combatants who basically say much the same thing irrespective of the title of the thread.  The bulk of the people, or should I say flock as we were talking about sheep, tend to have a basic procedure of being interactive in a thread while it is useful and informative, moving to lurk mode when the usual suspects become involved and then abandoning the thread when the wars start.  The only downside of this is it can seem that the majority are involved in the wars when it is far from the truth. I hope you will stick around long enough to decide there is something to be learned from the threads even if you do have to find a way of making it work for you.  If someone becomes really tiresome there is always the ignore button. 

Whatever happens enjoy your art and leave the wars to others, it is only a distraction.

 

 

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.
