Warning about P4 and PPro: I couldn't get the demos to install on a machine with more than 1 GB of physical memory. Never had a problem like that with P5 and P6. If you just want to set up part of a scene in Poser and then render in Bryce, I'd advise DAZ|Studio. Not as powerful as Poser 5 or 6, but integration with Bryce seems to work pretty well, and it's free. If you also want to be able to make figures out of existing static 3D models, but still want to render in Bryce, then ProPack would be best. If you want to set up part of a scene in Poser and then render in Vue, I'd advise Poser 5. You don't need the more advanced lighting features of Poser 6. Dynamic cloth and hair are supported in Vue (Infinite supports it directly, for other versions there's the Mover plugin). If you want Poser to do your renders, I'd advise Poser 6. By far the most capable render engine of all Poser versions, and far more capable than DAZ|Studio. Just my two cents.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
