I use Daz for all my book cover images. Every once in awhile, I hit on something that's a game changer for me. My other Daz 3D tutorial (listed above) was one of them - finding a mostly-fool-proof way to organize 3rd party content. But learning how to take a piece of clothing and make it "my own" has been another. Now, if I like the shape of the clothing (or any other prop, for that matter), I don't have to worry about it... I can fix it myself.
I've never used Daz on the Mac, so I can't comment there. I keep hoping they'll make Daz Linux-compatible because this is maybe the only program now which keeps me on Windows. I went "off" Macs due to their limited upgradability. I simply can't afford to buy new machines all the time. I loved my MacMini except for that fact. I did attempt an upgrade, but it was of limited success. I do play with the idea of making a Hackintosh at some point, but that would require me acquiring some newer install disks. I haven't bought OSX since tiger.
Oh wow, so you're not only a designer/artist but also have extended knowledge about computer technology. Hats off, that's pretty rare, usually it's either one or the other. I might have to look into DAZ 3d again and need to check their compatibility with Blender and ZBrush.
Nice chatting, have a great week!
My computer knowledge exceeds that of the designer/artist, but I'm trying! :-)
(I will post later a mini-tutorial on one of my latest pieces of art.)
Daz is completely compatible with Blender (though I've only just started learning that - and not very well yet.) I don't know about ZBrush, but I'm sure there's someone talking about it on the forums.
It's also worth double checking the Daz 3D website every two weeks as they have regular freebies. I picked up $460 worth of content today - for free. (Just double-check what required products are - though if it's a model that's required, it's worth getting anyway as those are frequently offered for free.)
The link for the freebies is:

You can also often find freebies on Renderosity, ShareCG.com and MostDigitalCreations.
