I have to say: My first foray into CG was via Painter 6 that I just happened to see in Comp USA one day, and bought. And that led me to Poser 4, which I bought from Meta C a few months later. Well, THAT led my into this amazing world of 3D CG, which has led me and my artwork into an area I never before even knew was possible. Without Poser, I would still be doing what I was starting to get quite burned-out on.... Had Poser been in the price range of, say, LightWave, well, I possibly never would have gone in this direction. :( Poser is about the best deal, software-wise that I can imagine! And you know, CL COULD be charging 5 0r 6 hundred dollars (or more!!) for it, but they're not. Thank you CL, for helping me to find a better path to follow through life; without Poser, my art would still be 2D........
