Agree totally with Ynsaen! I started with Poser 4 and quickly moved to Poser 5. Poser 5 definitely outshines Poser 4 from my limited experience. I had only 256 meg of Ram when I started on Poser 4 and renders did take considerably longer. Now, I have a Gig of Ram and Poser 5 rocks out renders that used to take 5 minutes in about 60-90 seconds. RDNA also has a forum specific to Poser 5 if decide to go with Poser 5 and everyone over there is as friendly and helpful as here. Most of us bounce back and forth as well as to everyone else's sites. Welcome to the community and have fun!
