I think that from a Corporate stand point there should be a official statement right away from Curious Labs and E-Frontier before they both get bashed to hell here. I just checked the press release section of Curious Labs and they don't even have a press release up about sale. Maybe....E-Froniter will give away the cheap version of shade for free to everyone who owns Poser while we wait for Service Pack. One last thing I have to says and shut up....I hope E-Froniter understands that the reason most people buy poser is they don't want to spend 50 hours making a female or male model that doesn't look real...well that's why I use poser...I have 3d Max1 and Lightwave 5.6 but notice no upgrade here....I suck at modeling!
