I am very glad I got P6. It worked for me right out of the box. As a merchant/artist creating characters it is a real benefit. 1) Loading textures is much faster than P5 or for me even poserPro. 2) I find the render quality very nice. 3) Almost everything I use like python scripts, injection magic etc works with it. 4) Seems like dynamic cloth and hair work very well I am still learning and I don't do large scenes but it is very nice for character development. cheerio lululee
