Improving on existing features isn't necessarily a 5.5 release nor should it be a freebie. Look at it this way. For instance the Poser rendering engine, say they added HDRI or image based lighting, or say the remodeled how the setup room works. These are things that I see as work on existing features. So who knows it could be worth it. I personally haven't had P5 installed for months, mainly because I couldn't do what I wanted with it, which was rigging a character. If P6 improves character rigging, then I'm in for an upgrade, if it doesn't, depending on cost and features/improvements, I might still get it. Though I hope not to be disappointed. Keep in mind that everything we are talking about, or heard is mere speculation. Brian
