    also yes...

    You think that heaven consists of unlimited, ultra-fast computing power giving you renders in s snap.

    And hell gives the damned souls nothing but win3.11 PCs and not the slightest chance even to install DAZ.

    Yeah, I often want to spin the figure around to look at another angle in a photograph. frown

    I can relate to soooo many of the posts here. 

    1) I'm a night owl, so I'm always staying up late and working on something.  I get so swept up in what I'm doing that I'm always surprised when it's been two or three hours since I last looked at the clock.  Oops.  

    2) I can't log off the computer until I see the new deals for the day.  I'll tell myself I've already spent enough this week/month/year, but then there might be a coupon.  And then I'm telling myself again, that's enough for the week/month/year haha.  

    3) If I'm rendering something, I can't go to bed until that render has finished.  Most of my renders finish in under an hour, but that hour might be four or five am and I'm telling myself I can do the render in the morning (I could let it render while I'm asleep, but I live with two other adults that share this computer and I don't trust them to wait).  

    4) I buy so many things that I often discover them months later, never having used them.  There was an environment I bought last year for the sole purpose of rendering a particular scene with a character.  But I bought it at a time when I'd bought lots of other PC+ items.  I just recently found it (under lost and found, strangely enough) and couldn't believe I hadn't used it yet.  I found loads of things I'd never used.  And here I am, still buying things.

    5) When my brother asks what I'm doing, and I say I'm rendering.  It doesn't even surprise him anymore.  

    6) I have dreams about rendering.  Usually, it's something that gets canceled and I have to do the render over again, or I'm working on a scene that seems to take four hours to place one item.  Or I dream about my graphics card.  I bought a new GPU recently and after a few days of rendering, I had a dream that I blew up the graphics card.  Yeesh.  

    ...yes

    ...yep, been through all six stages myself. 

    Ah, good, the new items just posted to the store, Time to get my PC+ freebies and then go to bed.

    When you look at a picture and go "You mean that's not a render? It's a photo??? But it's so clear, and detailed, and realistic..."

    You look out through the window, and you're surprised that the picture is clear immediately, with not fireflies or anything. blush

    Compared with Poser I find DS more addictive, because I find it easier to use and get good results with.

    When your render is almost done and you suddenly notice something is off so you kill the render that has been going for 20 hours, spend a few seconds correcting the issue, start a new render... Then save and post process the "flawed" image anyway and don't notice the flaw anymore. But you leave the new render running...

    a) When the whole day you were supposed to being doing DIY rehab for your weight room (spare bedroom) was instead spent periodically lazily getting up off the couch to stop, change, and then start a render of a scene your made. 

    b) Your last free $10 of your monthly budget was spent on 'Side Streets' and 'Slapstick for Genesis 2 Male' after wishlisting them 3 years and even though you know it'll be a year or more before you actually try & use them in a scene. Time spent shopping for those products that would have been better spent doing DIY room rehab or at least animation DIY learning in DS...

    You wake up in the middle of the night to go pee and on the way back to bed you MUST take a look at the Daz site to see what new content was added to the store!

    You see some great nature photos from a friend on FB and your first thought is "What terrain set did they use to get that?" 

    You follow that thought with "How did they get the water to flow so realistically?"

    So relateable.

    Hubby still thinks I use Poser, and always asks me if I'm still playing with my naked Poser ppl.  I don't even bother to explain I moved on many years ago to DS. I just say 'yes'. cuz why bother.

    I feel all the same things about real world lighting, clothing I see that looks just like I find here at the store, ppl who could use a few dial tweaks. On and on. It's a sickness with no cure. I tried letting my PC membership lapse a couple times, but couldn't stand not knowing.

    The problem isn't about how much I use Studio, but how much I use Daz.

    One suggests rendering, the other buying products. wink

    And the time you spend with each is inversely proportional, usually in favour or buying products...

    1) When you realize you have too much content in your computer, and decide to delete everything and start from scratch...
    2)...Only to take more then a WEEK to download what you need...
    3)...then you realize you absolutely NEED that Victorian-themed spiral corkscrew with a scorpion handle, because it'll be useful in a future picture...
    4)...and then just redownload everything again.

    And the best part...

    5) Your hoarder friend tells you not to judge them, 'cos you're a digital hoarder.

    I've been spending so much time trying to learn how to model assets that between Daz, Blender, and all the Iray and dForce parameters, I completely honestly had a complete brain-fart about a week ago where I woke up in the middle of the night, utterly convinced that the reason I was too hot was I had set the material parameters wrong on my duvet and made it too thick.

    When I first started in 3D art, about seven or eight years ago, Poser cost $500 more than DAZ so I'd say Poser addicts must have a higher level of addiction than us poor DAZ folk.

    Cheers,

    Alex.
