Maz is right in saying that Poser can be considered expensive as something for the hobbyist. However, expensive and overpriced are two different things. For all its still remaining bugs (some may call them glitches) the value one gets from Poser 4 is extremely high. If I did an analysis of cost-per-hour-of-enjoyment of Poser against some other things, I think Poser would do very well indeed. As far as I'm concerned it was money very well spent.
