I see nothing wrong with using Ds and poser, after all they are tools, and are used to produce an outcome, I don't agree with V4 being old, just people get bored and want something new, that's commerce, and I don't blame anyone for wanting to use V7 but for me I don't want to fart arse around trying to get something to work with something it wasn't ment to work with (poser, as that's what I use), generally It ends up with me getting annoyed with it after wasting x amount of hours when I could have done it quicker with what I already have.

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.
