Anything that works with P4 will work with P5, though they might require tweaking. The characters in P4 are different from P5. Personally, I use DAZ's characters anyway. (DAZ is a seperate company which sells models for Poser.) That said, there are a lot of free morphs and textures out there for the P4 people, and a few for P5, though the P5 people can use the same texture maps (with a few tweaks) as the DAZ characters. P5 runs well on some systems and is a dog on other systems. No one has found a common denominator yet. CL has said that they're working on another P5 patch, which might be out in a week or two - but no guarantee, so if you can wait a bit you might want to see what other people's experiences are with the upcoming patch. Poser is a bit weak on lighting and making backgrounds. If you like to do scenes, the P4/Vue bundle might suit you better. If you want to do character-based art - pin-ups, etc., then either version of Poser is fine. (There are various ways to fake backgrounds, and there are background models such as houses, trees, etc. available for Poser, but Poser was not made with complex scenes in mind.) Hope this helps, Cres
