I hadn't realised that the Poser 5 price had gone up. It was still pretty cheap after the giveaway offer. But if money is really tight, there's always the Studio software from DAZ, which I think is currently still free. But Poser has far more features and comes with a good starting selection of figures and clothes, which you might have to pay for otherwise. Poser 6 with the upgrade path to Poser 7 is also a good deal. This may be the best time to actually spend money.
