Hey folks-

One of our Renderosity magazine staff writers decided to write about how both Daz and Poser are beneficial. Take a peek and let us know what you think. Please note: they are such things as healthy debates and then there's flame baiting, so please do be respectful of others. Thank you!

Yes I use both.... use figures props and scenes from both While I would admit just havin one of these programs you may learn faster.... but I do get what I would call renders that plaese's me from both.... I love both... I also run Blender and Carrara .. with some help from Hexagon but then I am at that age... where I have time to Kill....

Nice article. Hope to see more...

U can not only mix from them all... but take the best of each program to make the best image you can... If you limit you're self to one of these great programs you limit what you can do open not only you're mind but also you're heart

I agree! I'm glad you guys approve! I figured it would be a great article to feature on here!!

I go way back with Poser, and at one time used it extensively. First installed an early version of Daz Studio some years ago-- it was terrible, frustrating and buggy.

Fast forward the better part of a decade, and I use Daz almost exclusively. . . I run Poser now only because of some of my old scripts.

But it's naive to think that an application that's fallen so far behind will remain relevant. I used to use Lotus 123, too. Now I don't.

The hobbyist 3D community does need an alternative to DS, but it's not Poser.

I'd prefer to see Lightwave and Newtek grab the market, but I doubt they will. A more likely platform is Blender; the right price, a commitment to openness. Very steep learning curve, but it's got all the tools, and steady improvement.
