I see where you're coming from manleystanley. I've never had a problem going in and tweaking anything - in fact, I think my need to tweak slows me down at times. I use the morph brush a lot (because it's a REALLY useful too folks) and I love dynamics. Dynamics (I think) hasn't really caught on because most consider it too hard. It's not really, but it IS something you have to put some work into ;).

On the other side of the coin, a lot of ppl use Poser to relax and play around. You can't really fault them for not frustrating themselves by doing more complex things. Just like they can't fault you for wanting to delve into the harder stuff. Not everyone is a modeler, or a texturer or a rigger, etc. Some just wanna have fun with it. It sounded an awful lot like you were looking down your nose at those people ;).

DS allows the same thing - anyone with half a brain can open it up, load something, pose and render. That doesn't make them any less worthy of a an answer to a question or for a concern they may have. Some don't WANT any more than a click and render. And Daz and Poser both claim that they're so easy to use, that's all you have to do...lol.

I model and texture. And I have Carrara Pro 7. It's kludgy and hard to use. That doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing. I have an easier time in Hexagon and even Blender. I don't think that makes me "less smart" ;).

For what it's worth, I can get millions of polys in a Blender scene and you barely notice. I'm not sure if you can do that in DS but you sure can't in Poser. Each program handles memory differently.

One small tip: you can't use cut and past buttons in the forums software here, but Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V work just fine ;).
