hmmm. Starting to see some light here - gaining an understanding of the why. Maxxxmodelz notes it depends on your needs. I can understand that for certain -- but I understand more the greater need for Poser to work across a greater number of platforms -- including those without the hardware to support OpenGL. But even he notes it's not a better solution in such a case. Still need more info, though. Thanks again (and Kawecki -- nice engine on the prop viewer..)

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
