functionality of Poser 5. It's not even going to have the >full functionality of Poser 4. The I don't think it is wise to compare Studio and Poser against each other as if the two programs will be racing towards becoming the best at one particular goal. From the information I have about Studio it is very clear that it will be a bit different kind of beast. For my personal and business needs as an artist, Poser offers absolutely nothing, but Studio will be a viable option for animation, rendering and some other key features. While there will be a lot of crossover in eventual functionality, Studio seems primed to evolve into something fundamentally different than Poser, however most current Poser users will find great benefit in using it for the lionshare of their work.
