@ Eclark I am not upset I am curious as a person who has used poser since version 2.

I understand the cognitive dissonance of being a "loyalist" in any aspect of life ,food ,Cars Religion etc.

But other than your personal fealty to smithMicro or the "community" I would be interested to hear, strictly from the perspective of a "figure posing and animation program"

First : I will concede the morph brush is SUPERIOR!!!...compared to the utterly useless "Dformer" of DS.

But Does that one feature keep you coming back to poser and paying for Upgrades.??

I would love to hear some other features that make poser objectively better than the current version of Daz studio as a ""figure posing and animation program"??

Honestly, figure posing for me is a snap in Poser. I don't see why some people have such a hard time with it. And I haven't been interested in animation since version 2. The thing I like best about Poser though is the fact that all the features it comes with, including the ones I don't use like Wind Force, and Bullet Physics. I don't have to go and buy some third party app which may or may not work on my computer. There's a mac AND a Windows version. The only Poser feature I can't say that about is the motion capture feature that works with Microsoft's Kinnect. As for paying for Poser Upgrades, over the years, I've upgraded to every version of Poser except 3 and 5, but Poser 11 is the only version I've ever upgraded to for a specific feature, and that was Superfly.

Also, something I've said before elsewhere, if I could get a working rigged version of Dawn or some other similarly rigged Poser figure, including Genesis, into Blender, that's the last Poser has seen of me.
