And I'll repeat again. Not a DS user. Never have been. I will also point out gain that I'm perfectly happy with Poser.

People don't seem to have a problem criticising the program, but dare to criticise any of the figures ...... well that's the unforgivable sin.

I repeat again. People went to Daz to get the figures. People want Daz figures in Poser, because they are better than any Poser alternative.

Now, before anyone has a breakdown, this WAS the number one reason for me. It's not because I was such a fan of the software. It frustrated the hell out of me when I first started and sometimes still does (but then Poser did too at times). But the last ten years I used Poser I did almost zero renders. I only made stuff FOR Poser. With DS I actually make renders. Haven't done that in a decade. It brought back my creativity or my muse, so to speak - something I'd wish I'd gotten from Poser. Those who know me know I used Poser for a LONG LONG time. I didn't wanna give it up. But I felt like I'd been abandoned by SM and didn't have much choice. Because SM needed people like me more than I needed them, I felt only the smallest feelings of guilt for giving it up. After all, it's me it has to please, not SM, not Rendo, not the Poser forumites. And if Poser gets updated, and it's better, I'll switch again. I am not married to software. I will use what is best for what I'm trying to do. But I did love using Poser. It's just that SM killed the love I had for it.

And before anyone starts going off on anyone else, please remember that even the DS users in this thread wish nothing but the best for Poser. It's ok for people to want different things. It's about time we all started trying to get along :). NO ONE so far is degrading Poser users. One is getting a user confused with the software or a character. Not the same thing. So please be civil. Please.
