I suppose I just don't understand the whole dynamic of the situation.   I just recently bought Poser 6, its my first dip into 3D.   All I know is that I've been frustrated with customer service at e-frontier and e-on.    They've been so unhelpful with assisting me in how Shade and Vue relate to Poser.   It makes me wonder if maybe Hexagon and Carrara are a better choice for making new content and scenes for my Poser figures. : /   

I suppose th is is a fairly turbulent time to begin studying digital art.
