IMHO OpenGL is way overrated. If you think you have problems with a buggy program now, just wait til/if it goes to OpenGL which is totally dependent on your video drivers. At least Poser has control of its display now. I was moving a figure around the screen with full tracking on last night (in Poser 4..the 4-year-old program) and that little milkid looked alive! Yeah, Yeah, I know, transparency. I can live without it being displayed. As far as CL though. I don't know. Poser 5 is getting less buggy for sure, but it's just too slow. Many of us have absolutely NO interest in the new renderer, no matter how good it might be. If you can't minimize Poser during a render and have it use Idle time (like Bryce) there's not too many of us willing to tie up our machines. IMHO I think CL would do very well by upgrading ProPack to use the new libraries (with linked runtimes and subfolders) and possibly the new parameter dials too. Release that and make a killing.
