Taking the figure quality completely out of the equation, in what objective ways is poser superior?
Rigging new content for the figures?
I have used the "Fitting Room" and I have used the Daz transfer utility to make many outfits including the one I posted earlier in the thread.
The transfer utility is literally 2 clicks and you have a conformer with ALL morphs working
immediately no need to add them later.
Animation?...
No... poser has no nonlinear motion clip mixer or puppeteer panel for mouse controlled motion recording and posers broken all or nothing IK system is well documented.
Rendering?? I have yet to see a Superfly render that looks as good as the native Blender cycles or Daz IRay. Not saying they dont exist but some links would be nice.
Dynamic Cloth?
I have the $50 USD optitex Cloth control plugin and the Dyncreator plugin from RMP merchant lola69-$10 USD to allow me to use my own models as Dynamic Clothing in Daz studio.
sample of one of my Dynamic dress models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg4NLVxQCuo
So for an additional $60 USD investment over the Zero cost of the main app , I have superior Cloth abilities to posers as I have global gravity controls to create lighter floaty simulations figure body offsets to prevent poke through during the sim and can bake the sim to animated morphs right in Daz studio and apply a wind effects with animatable strength.
Dynamic hair ?? DAZ has none But it would seem that the poser solution is not widely used as evidenced by persistence of conforming hair products for V4 ,Dawn et al.
User friendly interface?? Surely an adept Blender user ,such as yourself, would not find the DS interface intimidating.
