Even tho I changed over to Poser5 last year & will not be going back any time soon I agree with what the others have said here. Stick to Poser4 until you've got a good grasp of what you're doing, the new features are very nice but they can get in the way if you're only just learning what poser can do. Poser5/6 will be around when you're ready for it & so will us people who use it too :)
