MOCCA is a set of features - rigging, muscular system and clothing.
I thought about byuing C4D, but I found it's modeling features unusual, found Expresso not easy to use in complex tasks. And I'm not sure about C4D render. At least when you are using PyroCluster (it's a part of advanced render, and is responsible for smoke, fire et al), DOF is unavailable. So there may be more restrictions.

But I got XSI Advanced on eBay at only $400 (because it's v.5.0). Not activate it yet (preparing system for it), and don't even know, am I fooled or not. But already my spending on XSI books and video tutors exceeds my spendings on DAZ software & books & tutors. Heheh.
