I started off with DAZ but learned that poser for some reason was easier to use.  Don't know why.

I still use daz for motion and merging of figures in animation though I will save the motion to a bhv file for poser and I will save merging animation to poser to add it to scene.  The figure that I have created does not like daz or daz doesn't like it.  Not sure which.  Never the less still find use for both.
