Oh BTW, I found all the great Casina stuff, it was in the Casino root folder (silly me).

I'm not sure why anyone would feel ripped off clsteve, I'm very happy with my purchase, and with the goodies that came with it.  Actually, at the price (even the full, but especially the upgrade), I still think Poser is the finest software package available.  Heck, I've spent a lot more on higher end packages that I don't use nearly as much.

Aside from Sydney (who I do enjoy), I also would like to point out that the shader room, IMHO is one the greatest things I have ever used.  I was trained in 3D on Studio MAX years back and I always had a bit of trouble with their way of doing materials (hey, it grows on you, but still) I'm amazed how quickly I picked up the basics of the shader room, and I am constantly amazed as I learn new tricks.

Simon, is pretty cool too.  I can see a lot of potential for both characters.

In the end, I by Poser because it is Poser, extra content is just icing.  The Passport membership is like sprinkles and the coupon, well, it's just sugar overload.

Nope, no complaints here.

And, hey, go ahead and climb in bed with content providers (do I need to mention the awesome extras from people like VP?), let's all climb into bed and have a great old time... well, that's actually what we've kinda done, and there is nothing wrong with it from my point of view.

Cheers!
