From our discussions in another post and imput from CL itself, essentially Poser Artist is P4 renamed and repackaged for the hobbiest/novice market. CL wanted to offer a Poser that was eaier to use than P5, but their vendors wouldn't sell an older version of Poser concurently with Version 5. Poser Artist is supposed to undergo separate product developments and upgrades. CL's ads clearly state that people who own P4 should not buy Poser Artist. I'm very interested in a easier version of Poser undergoing a separate development because as I don't animate don't need dynamic hair/cloth, and the materials room just confuses the hell out of me.
