Brewvet, if I had it.....I would hold on to it too :) Poser 5 has awesome potential. My guess is that the average person will never be able to use it maximally. for one thing their computers may have difficulty meeting the resource requirements. I have a PIV 1.7 ghz and 512 DDR Ram. The hair room will never get used until I can get around to either adding more ram or a new computer. It is simply too sluggish.....like walking knee deep in wet concrete. The material room and the main area are quick enough....not as fast as Vue, but faster than Bryce 4 :) Have not really experimented with the cloth room yet. Anyway....I would not recommend anyone abandon Poser 4 for Poser 5 unless you are very skilled and have a very, very powerful computer.
