{It will be full-featured and will contain among other aspects, dynamic cloth and strand based hair, photo-based facial modeling and the innovative FireFly Renderer which enables smoothing of facets at render time, displacement mapping, 3D motion blur and depth of field.} Keep in mind that this is what CL claimed that P5 for Windows would do. It is still debatable what "full-featured" really means... we think is means "P4 with bells & whistles that may or may not work on your computer", but judge for yourself. Maybe P5 will work better on a Mac since there's only 1 OS (OS X), but I have the feeling that the same core problems will be there- poor memory management, odd library management, no support for importing/ exporting to Lightwave or Vue, and so on. And the features listed for the FireFly renderer are the same things that Lightwave and Vue have been doing for how-many-years??
