*"V4 is just tremendously easier to work with for me.  For people just getting started with Poser I'd recommend they just start with V4 and spare themselves some learning curve."

I've been in Poser a long time, and have a fairl amount invested in V3 - but she has been totally vaporized just tonight. I put in a shiny new P7 install and took a hard look at my runtime setup and started over.

V4
Miki
Daz Dragon
A3
G2 Males
Sydney G2 (P7 female) looks to be a real winner

That about covers it for me right now. All the old dead wood is gone. Honestly V3 never worked out for me anyway. Too hard to modify, too ugly, too expensive to try and fix. A3 was better, and Miki better than that for some things.
