I'm in your same boat. I also pre-ordered Poser 5 and was counting on the promised 3rd party plugins. Now Body Studio seems like a very nice plugin, it has garnered very good reviews from 3D World and other magazines. I'm hoping the future release lets you import the Poser figure into Max instead of just hosting Poser content inside of Max, that's when I will really jump onboard. Or maybe Curious Labs could be bright enough to develop a free FBX plugin. That will probably get people jumping up and down and burn past hatches with the company. I would certainly be satisfied and feel the promissed 3rd party plugins were finally delivered.
