Welcome to the Darkside... I've bounced around between Poser and DS for years. Sometimes using both as they have strengths. These days I'll primarily use DS because I find it a more updated toolset. No morph brush and dynamics room leaves me little choice at times to go back and forth. The new Genesis figures made it an easy choice to support DS over Poser. I've used Poser since it was a pup and it annoyed me to learn a new system but in the end I find it was worth it. The renders you can get out of a "free" software are quite impressive. Poser just feels old to me now which is kinda sad. Once you get used to the different interface I think you'll find it a breeze to work in. It'll take time and a little knowledge to feel comfortable enough to just play around. But that's how I learned it. Playing with this and that, making new discoveries as you go makes it fun. At least it did for me. I am in no way an expert in this type of software. But just keep pluggin' away. I'm sure you'll find a lot of people willing to help you figure certain things out. Either her at Renderosity or at the Daz forums. Saying goodbye to V4 and welcoming V7 didn't hurt me much. Especially if you like armpits to fold under the shoulder instead of the ears:) IMHO, I strongly disagree that Poser is more intuitive than DS, it's just different than what you're used to.
