Regarding Daz3d incompatability with Poser 5-- These are issues that can be dealt with in various ways, but they are annoying and perplexing for the newbie. For instance, Daz3d morphs must be placed in a special directory in the P5 runtime, which you have to do yourself. Not a biggie, but if you don't know that, suddenly none of your morphs work! And after you save a model and re-use it from Figures or from a scene file, all the morphs for the model are on the parameter list, even if they weren't loaded. Once again, there's a fix-- Dialcleaner. But if you don't ask around you won't know about it. As for textures, all the mat poses I have that load textures seem to work fine in Poser 5. The only problem is when you try to bring up figures saved in Poser 4 with materials, a lot of them are not found by Poser 5. So you use the Mat pose again, or re-do the texture associations by hand. The one thing that's great about Poser 5 is the library structure, that really allows you to break things down into folders. I've been organizing my pose folders so that all the figure poses are in one folder, all the V3 Morph poses are in another, etc.
