interesting now i need to check later asap if i ever can achieve similar/equivalent looks or features (three tones, etc) through my old (and now rusted coz of lack of practice) method i used for my own pictures if i can achieve results that matches the features found in p6, it would change my decision in another way if i cannot do decent results myself out of my p4 + postwork tricks, i may have ton consider stronger anyway: 1) what is the learning curve of the shader/material room ? (i mean it's common to p5 and p6 but when i visited a friend who had p5, it looked so complex and so hard and detailed to learn about it to make it work that it would make me flee away, as i already spent much time snailing on other poser aspects already :) 2) what does p5 worth compared to p6 , i mean what would make someone choosing the second in favor or the older one ? i mean ok the featurees described in site, but i mean regarding basic hobbyist and possibly one who mostly aim at toon/anime characters rendering (in cellshading or cg shaded mobe either) i know p5 was kinda buggy but i was told it could reach a decent state with sr4, to which extent though ? is poser 6 much more stable ? i ask this cause i only have w98, and i wonder if i ever need to finally take the jump from poser artist to p5/p6 for the better library/runtime handling, firefly stuff polygon smoothin) and maybe material room, but i have to consider 2 options: A) P5 (if i still can find som eplace to purchase it ) at a decent price B) P6 upgrade from P4 (120?) PLUS a W2000/Win Xp, both cumulated price (depend on where i can purchase w2000/xp cheap) and i then have to compare p5 price best i can find, with p6 upgrade + win 2k/xp os considering stability issue too regarding p5 sr 4 compared to p6 thanx for your help earlier, and possibly further i dunt have much money so i really have to make my chose very wisely
