The animation bits are what im looking forward too most...and had thought version 4 was going to be geared more toward animation...

i cant see using Photoshop for animation work...doing it frame by frame?..oy..and i dont own Aftereffects...yet..ive heard its a good application, im thinking itll come in handy for compositing..

i havent really used Amapi..and poser has just put a sour taste in my mouth that buying Transposer makes me wince...

as for the network rendering..heck..anything thatll speed things up is worth it...:)..and with computers as inexpensive as they can be and upgrading equipment, the network rendering just may mak it worth keeping that old computer plugged in somewhere just for its resources..we'll be able to have 5 additionals now with the rendering... ill bitch and groan about it, but in the end will probably go ahead and upgrade instead of buying and trying to learn something new...lol..theyre counting on the lazy among us..:)
