I was really thrilled by Poser 5, and so eager to learn it. However, Poser 5 has been a huge disappointment. The manual is no better than previous manuals. I've yet to find any good tutorials that explain all the new-fangled Poser 5 rooms, so that I can understand them. I don't use them. I have an older computer which is most likely too wimpy to do anything effective. So I'm back to using Poser 4 most of the time. The only positive postscript I can add is that I didn't experience many bugs.
