I'm not a daz hater or a daz lover, though poser communities seem to be becoming more divided in this vein everyday.   ](*,)  So this isn't really a defense of them but more of what I've seen and experienced, so with that said...

It doesn't really seem like a trick to use d|s to me.  You can try it and if you don't like it, don't use it.  And it least you're not out any money (with d|s I mean, not the plugin).  Programs take time to develop, lots of time.  So yes it's still in beta.  And with only a handful of people willing to solidly venture away from the familiar grounds of poser I'm sure it's taking longer to get feedback and bugs reported and thus fixed.  

I use poser 4PP and though I love being able to interact easily with 3D people models and all their lovely accessories and settings... it's crap.  :bad-words:

It's a complete technological POS.  It's buggy, its slow, its severely limited, and it crashed more then windows ME.  :bad-words:   It's content and the merchants drove it's popularity, not the program itself.  I have not used 5 but have heard lil better about it then 4 and in some cases have been recommended that upgrading is [i]really[/i] not worth the cost.  Mores the pity because the materials and hair tools looked worth a try, but again with limitations, uber slow reaction time, and bugginess.

Hash and I by no means have great machines  #-o , we've 'kit-bashed' them all ourselves, and I wouldn't be caught dead with a prefab, heh.  So if there's software out there (or ones that will be out in the future) that aren't just for the new computers I'm all for it.  I only tried d|s for a few days but didn't have a problem with it.  yuh the ui is very different but no worse then the clunkiness of several other programs I use regularly.

If nothing else setting up a scene or animation in poser, rolling it into d|s and then importing it into bryce.... seems like a lot but it's still gotta be easier then poser into bryce, heh.   :wink:  but that's just me.
