Time for my biased-as-hell $0.02

Background: I've used DAZ Studio ever since it was a barely-stable alpha build. I previously worked for them as a developer, and was present at the release of version 1.0. I even wrote the very first user manual for it.

I used Poser from 1999(-ish) to 2012, gradually switching over - I first stumbled into Poser while looking to find tools to build maps for Quake2 (Weapons Factory Mod), Quake 3 (ditto), then Unreal Tournament (same-same).

I stopped using Poser in 2012 or so, but I will probably purchase Poser Pro 11 once they get the licensing issues sorted out. Sounds odd, right?

Well, in my case there's a reason or four: I like to tinker. A lot of people I know and respect have done cool things in it that I cannot do in DS (why? Because they take two almost entirely different approaches to workflow. That's fully intentional, BTW.) I want to cleanse my mental palette a bit. There are figures (PE, LaFemme) that I want to give a try. I resent the fact that I am typing this on a Windows laptop and not a MacBook Pro, because Apple ditched nvidia GPUs, and the kick-ass render engine DS uses, iRay, requires an nVidia GPU with CUDA-compliant drivers (and no, I'm not gonna do an external GPU because those are, quite frankly, retarded - doubly so given my business travel schedule.)

. Now - to answer your question... in your case, give it a whirl. It'll cost you exactly $0.00 to try it out. There's a megaton of free content for the Genesis 8 male and female figures (their latest). Most Poser content works just fine in DS (though the latest ones may be missing a few features.)

This way, you can decide...
