I first saw Poser (I think Poser 1 for Mac) on a computer I shared with another instructor, I got version 2 pretty cheap, I think it was $99 if you had other Fractal products (I think this was before Metacreations got it). I used it for awhile, made objects for it in RDS 4, but it was pretty limited, I sort of faded out of it - Then one day surfing the Web I ran into some stuff done in Poser 3, it knocked me off my seat, I was very impressed. I got Poser 4 then, it had just came out.
