I would imagine that MANY people did the pre-order thing BECAUSE of Shade LE. If we make some good tutorials available, perhaps we will see more and more people learning how to make their own clothing. It will be interesting to see what the next year brings. A lot of people don't have the patience or desire to model. They just want to create art and not have to worry about the technical side of things. I LOVE the technical side. Well, most of it anyway. 8-) Poser inspired me to learn it further. I just got Shade Pro (I think that makes my fourth 3D app now! LOL I am a glutton for punishment!). At first glance it reminds me somewhat of a cross between Rhino and LightWave. I have lots of exploring to do now. 8-)
