I take elgyfu and ericofSD word on this : V3 is very good for close-ups where you want an almost photographic look. Since these are not the kind of images I do, I'll pas on V3. I also like scenes involving several characters. This leads to images with at least 2 figures, 4 or 6 additional figures for clothes, some props and a background. Don't know if these can be done with V3s : Poser 5 chews at my RAM enough for the time being. It is not to say that V3 is not a great product. It is just something that will ask too many efforts and too much money from me for the small use I'll have of it. But, admitedly, I cannot be considered a "Poser Master" by far. Compiler
