If the python scripting taps into the environment and they give us enough power the scripting would be worth it. Imagine a new category in freestuff called Python scripts full of special FX, animation helpers, data manipulation helpers, procedural functions like creating randomly populated scenes quickly, render filters for turning off the smooth shading or adding new shading etc.. 3d studio's versatility went up orders of magnitude when they put in their script language allowing even a no brainer to write plugins and modify objects. Hoepfully Curious Labs will make the function access library powerful enough to tap into poser's underlying system. Python itself is pretty powerful utilizing OOP objects and list management. I'll definitly get this and may not buy Poser 5. With each release of Poser, the figures get revamped and I have to start all over again. Vickie and Millenium man have not been too impressive for me to warrent revamping all my characters. I'd hate to have to redo everything yet again.
