The biggest problum I would have using only blender, is the rigging. Every time I would create a character in blender I need to rig it and skin it and make sure all joints are set up properly and are deforming correctly. After all that is complete I would then need to create a texture for my character. a lot of hard work goes into that.

Instead using daz you can skip all that and go directly into posing and rendering.

Anyways, just wanted to say, I think all software programs have their place in the world. Just finding out how to use them the best is key. :)

I agree with the "all software has its place" part.
And about the transition. Normally I pose in DAZ and export the scene over to Blender, Bryce or whatever I need for a certain project. There I only have to adjust the materials to the wanted render engine. This way I can skip all the rigging and posing part in other software. ;) In addition, there are quite some plugins out there that allow you to import DAZ figures to blender with the rig.
Another thing to keep in mind is, that Blender has the compositor that allows you to adjust and tweak your render for post without rerendering the whole thing, and the node editor is far more refined than the one in DAZ. So you can achieve a lot of effects on surfaces easier in Blender too. And last but not least, the inbuild texturing tool. That works as a light version of substance painter.

I really wish they would publish a working bridge for a DAZ-Blender transfer like they have for Zbrush and the other DAZ programs.

I want to share with you guys my first render with DAZ and IRAY. I am not sure what I am doing, so I used the default settings. For the lighting I used three planes with the Emission shader. Some post work in Photoshop. I really need a better video card, working in IRAY viewport mode was painful. This render took about 2 hours, so I did not want to keep tweaking and re-trying. - lol. I will get better :)

Working with iray in view port is painful regardless of what gpu you have.

Edit: Still a good job. hdri will be your best friend for lighting until you feel comfortable with setting up your own lights.
