DAZ Studio

 * This is an interesting program. Even though parts of the program are extremely annoying, I recommend that you download and learn to use this program.


 * This first version of the program is fully working but not necessarily perfectly. The version I downloaded still had some of the debugging features turned on. (version 1.4.16.0).


 * Also, in this version, the human interface is occasionally extremely stupid. The program cannot remember the file name when you want to save a new version.  This is a feature that even the simplist Macintosh programs offer.


 * The good news is when you try to produce artwork using this program, most the features for doing this work very well. That much they did right.


 * Latest download edition is now 1.7 (sept 07) and is an excellent program and easy to use.

The history of DAZ Studio and Poser

 * As best that I can figure, there is a breif history of Poser and DAZ.


 * Poser was born.


 * Poser and DAZ (formerly Zygote) meet and fell in love. Poser provided the software and Zygote provide the models.


 * Poser and DAZ had a divorce, arguing over the direction they should go and the file format.


 * DAZ created DAZ Studio to draw people away from Poser.


 * DAZ became busy with other things and let DAZ Studio slide.


 * Now Poser 7 seems to have jumped far ahead of DAZ Studio.


 * DAZ needs to get serious about DAZ Studio. End of story.
