YES!!!!!!!!!!!

*This is notably wrong!

Here's a little history:

Poser 1.0 was released in 1995
Poser 4.0 was released in 1999
Victoria 1 was released in 1999 - as far as I know she was a derivate of the P4-woman (Posette)
Victoria 2 was released in 2001
Victoria 3 was released in 2002
DAZ  Studio was released in it's version 1.0 in 2005 as far as I remember.
Victoria 4 was released in late 2006

(...and this does just contain the history of the most popular model by DAZ).

I was apparently wrong. Of course I didn't come to 3d until March 2007. As I said in my post I am not an artist. one look at my gallery would prove that.

Quote - And just a word to those that say that the User Interface of DS/Poser is so hard to learn: Yes, definitely, regardless what you try as a new tool I don't like the interface of DS at all and can use Poser with my eyes closed - because I use it more and for a far longer period. And in Bryce I am not even able to find the interface...

I actually find the interface in both relatively easy to use. I won't even go into Bryce.

I'll go away now and leave this discussion to you artists and venders, and crawl back under me rock.

It seems I did this very thing awhile back and in hindsight I think I went about it the wrong way, as you are doing.

I think what gets most people upset is that the vendors are using a character that is primarily targeted to the DAZ user. About the only thing I get from the DAZ market are the props. I have only purchased maybe 3 characters. I must also say that I have both DS and Poser 7, and I use them interchangeably

Most DAZ users, I think, don't realize that with some ingenuity there is always a work around with some products. I have a particular fondness for Niké props and all are made for Poser 6+, but I have managed a couple of times to get around these roadblocks. Of course their are those products that will not work in DS and I avoided those until I got Poser.

So it really doesn't do any good to get angry about it. The best advise is to just avoid those vendors products, or try and get it to work for you.

But, all this being said, I am no artist so what do I know?

As for me I have both and use them intermittently. Can't really say which I prefer yet. Both have their pros and cons. 

The Daz Poser exporter is for exporting from Daz to Poser, not the other way around. Besides the vast majority of Daz users do not have Poser.
