Renderotica

In my mind, the biggest feature of the scene tab:  The ability to group items, make them unselectable / invisible with a single click.  Group up the background elements, then just turn invisible and unselectable in screen for session until you need to do anything with it.  

DS has a seperate surface tab, but when I was talking about the MAT I meant the MAT poses, which in Poser land, the PA's would stick under Materials or under Poses willy nilly.  In DS land, for conformers the MAT poses are almost universally within a sub folder of the conformer.  No more digging through the Library > Mat Poses nonsense anymore.  

Now for characters, they were putting official DS figures mats under Materials but the PA's were putting them under characters.  For generation 8 it is all under characters now.  

All of this, is functionality beyond the real reason I quite Poser, little to no bugs or random crashes.  I know a ton of folks were like, just use Poser 2014 instead of P11...  Well... You could use DS and not worry about 1/10th of the bugs I would encounter whilst using Poser.  Arguably, it seems like no one on the Poser side would put in tickets but instead bitch on *deleted*.  Daz actually does things with trouble tickets.

Now if could only sell my two p11 licenses and 3 octane licenses...

Much easier than selecting one prop at a time and then clicking delete object when a set loads in with 20+ props in Poser)

 

You can do all that in Poser, using the Hierarchy Editor.
Functionally it works just like the scene tab, including deleting multiple objects and figures at once.

Thanks, I had not realized the Hierarchy editor was there. Might be helpful in testing multi figure pose packs. I even found out using the Hierarchy Editor can instantly crash Poser 11. If you try to collapse everything down to the Universe it crashes every time.
