{No it's apparently not coming until next year, and will cost $'s (P6).} Do we have any verifiable proof on this? If CL is significanty raising the price (even though there may be significantly new features), will the "core" Poser market purchase it? So far, without even knowing the price, most people (even a number of P5 supporters) WON'T purchase it immediately, fearing a repeat of the buggy first release of P5. People will probably wait 5-6 months for the 1st (or 7th or 8th) Service Pack to fix the bugs in 6.0. And how will CL get their money from people who wait to purchase? On to Lightwave: sure, it's hard. But so was Photoshop at first. Just stick with it, take it slow, follow all the tutorials and work up to your grand ideas. After all, you didn't make a masterpiece when you first used Poser, did you? As you practice and get good, then you can make the complex stuff.
