Sounds like a good idea. I've been looking at AM myself since Eovia has raised the price on Carrara by 50%. I still have Carrara 3 but never got the Transposer plug in that lets you import Poser figures into Carrara. For now I'm using Poser 5 with Shade and Poser 4 Pro with Lightwave. Carrara is indefinetly shelved at this point. Still looking at AM as a new low cost possibility. On another note I see they have dropped the price for Vue 4 to like $69 and with their Mover plug-in you can import Poser figures. Just another combo that works.
