I am a little late in commenting on this thread but I will say this. Daz vers 7 is a nightmare compared to vers 6. I say that as a 21 year Bryce veteran. I still use the program simply because I am tired of being milked into buying new versions of other software every year. Daz studio is vastly improved with the current 4.9 and all I can say is lookout Poser because DS is still free. The Platinum Club purchase plan is a big moneysaver now that I am on retirement income. Since the management change Daz is heading in a new direction and hopefully they will either improve Bryce or sell it to someone who will. Until that time people will continue to find workarounds and new avenues of creativity through experimentation and good ol' imagination.
