this is a bit off-topic, ands not related to anything in this current thread outside of the actual topic, but-
if you want or need to free up space on the hard drive, sure, uninstall it. I have both installed, but I have a 100 gig hd so space isn't an issue.

but why is there so much antagonism towards that program from so many poser users? sure, it doesn't incorporate all of the features Poser 5/6 does, like dynamic cloth and hair, and the scripting language prevents usage of python scripts. but it does have it's features also- a leaner interface, better interaction with Bryce (with the release of Bryce 5 free, this is useful to many people), and integration with a fine renderer, 3delight, which is slowly but surely being unlocked with many scripts and shaders.

I just don't get it; I learned my 2D skills with Gimp, and didn't smirkingly desire to uninstall it after finally getting the 'real' Photoshop. And I'm not accusing anyone in this thread of smirking, but there ARE plenty of scornful comments aimed at D/S on many forums.

I've used Studio since the early beta stages, and like lots of other people I refer to what I play with as 'poser stuff', because Poser is the 'standard' for simple 3d  posing and rendering of premade figures. just like many others' 'photoshop stuff' is actually created by Gimp or Paint Shop Pro, because the programs are clearly related in function,content, and usage.

I've seen lots of smirky, elitist comments aimed at Poser users over the years from users of 'true 3d programs' such as maya and the like. It surprises me to find that a similar reaction would appear amongst  the poser crowd, directed at studio; I frankly exprected the poser community to be a bit more welcoming of a kindred program. I think it's a good thing another program supports the poser format and file structure. It actually helps validate the format as legitimate, the way both Gimp and PSP using PSD files does for PS.

Just a question I've had for awhile.
