I love P6. I started working in Poser a year ago when I bought Poser 5 so I don't know about any other version but I much prefer Poser 6 to Poser 5. For one thing, I am able to render scenes that look good (at least I am satisfied with them), something I never was able to do in P5. That is because of the lights/shadows settings in P6. I like the fact that I can see the hair in the Preview window instead of just transparency dots in P5. It renders much faster than P5 (with FireFly). I have multiple runtimes (libraries only) and all the textures for the models in those libraries are in the textures folder of P5 runtime. I added all the library runtimes plus the P5 runtime and P6 never has any problem finding the textures and/or objects. I like the fact that I can export image from earlier renders instead of rendering again if I prefer a previous render. It uses P5 materials as well as P6. So far, I haven't found one model or prop that P6 can't render well in all the stuff I already had for Poser (for P4 and P5). I guess it depends what you intend to do with it. If it is for animations, I wouldn't know because I don't do these. But for rendering stills, it is great. One happy customer, France
