Talent103, I wouldn't look for Daz Studio anytime soon. The pics posted here on 'rosity a few weeks ago were from the ALPHA version. I'm sure that it will be great, but I wouldn't count on it replacing Poser, like many here seem to claim. Poser 5 is a great program, I've been extremely pleased with it. Don't let other people run you off. 5's worth it, just keep in mind that it's not going to cook your breakfast and mow your lawn for you, and you'll probably not be disappointed.
