Admittedly I am very new to Poser let alone Poser5, so far I've only been able to make 2 figures that looked like people with all extremities in the right places. :)

I didn't know about the SR3, will have to go check that out, but I run on WINXP with 512mbRAM with a P4 processor. It has not frozen up/locked on me yet. Then again, I haven't figured out how to get it to do everything I want to anyway. As far as the manual is concerned, well, I've learned more from the trials and errors I've done than I did the manual.
