"All I can say that you missed alot of good stuff in Poser6. I preordered and I will be very happy because it has the best light features in it for good renderer. There is only one it need to make perfect renderer is Aura, and thats all. It is sad to hear when you find disappoints in it because I don't see the same way." Gweb, it's cool that you are so supportive but don't you think you should try it before giving it such high praise? XENOPHONZ is there anywhere I could read about poser and Hyper Threading or is it just something that is generally known and accepted ? I haven't heard anything like that before now. I think I will e-mail Curious Labs and ask about it. Of course I am still waiting for their response to the questions I asked them a week before I pre-ordered :P I know they are busy though!
