short and simple for me. all the reasons have been hashed.. I would not buy it again... well.... let me expound a bit..... I do not like the hair room...difficult to use...the rendering takes forever and longer. Cloth room...tried it a few times...very confusing and complicated... Materials room...I guess this is ok, although i think its much more difficult to apply textures to portons of the figure...quite a few mat files do not work....well, they were made for p4, why should they ? Face room...big disappointment to me, although I've seen some work done in it that is very good...the resolution of the resulting texture is 512x512....there are not enough points IMO to sculpt the head exactly... Rendering...don't bother using that smooth polygon setting... The new characters...I like Mike and Vic... The one thing I like a lot...I can now read the parameter dials...and the library structure is very good compared to P4.... but other than that... Did I say I wouldn't buy it again ??? OH...lest I forget...displacement mapping is very cool

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
