What's being proposed here -- that complete re-write -- is indeed what has already begun. CL has statements to that fact already. That revised code base will go into P7. What they are doing, however, again already stated, is digging hard into the code base and trying to fix all those pesky annoyances (the bugs). The things mentioned in the interview as "new features" aren't. They are already present in the current release, but will likely have "easier" methods for being done than the current methods allow for. As far as "waiting" -- well, that's up to the individuals. And if they are going to wait, I certainly hope they will tell us all that they are. I will not -- or at least, not by choice. As soon as 6 is released and I have the funds, plop it shall go into my hands. It won't be done becuase I want to be an early adopter. It won't be done because I support CL. IT won't be done because I want to come into the forum and crow about P6. It will be done because it will be Poser, version 6. That would make it newer than Poser, version 5. It is also made very clear that Poser Artist will be moving along as well. I might just pick it up for the hell of it (depends on the rationale I can supply the husband). The entire political nature of the debate is meaningless -- but ever so much fun. We've done this since Poser 3, and will do this with Poser 10. We're all a bunch of whiny artist types. It's what we do...

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
