"P5 is so underrated. I wonder if Poser's actual lack of popularity is possibly due to the majority of the community just not wanting to upgrade, and take advantage of the new stuff in it?" Hello, Nail. Do you mind if I hit you cleanly on the head? LOL. I think you got it right. Although, I'm not so sure the MAJORITY of the community is still using P4... last poll conducted, it seemed like more were using P5. However, the problem is the merchants aren't supporting P5's powerful functions as much as they are P4. Even now, with P6 in the works, you still see people asking "what's better, p4 or p5?" Hehehe. Then of course the varied and subjective answers that follow only serve to confuse the matter more. There's no question: P5 is a better 3D product. Now, if you're a 2D artist primarily using 3D as a template to paint on, then P4 is sufficient (thus they renamed it "Poser Artist", which I think sounds a little strange but so be it). ;-)
