Crikey, I'm even more confused than ever now. :)

There seems to be a real mixed view on whether this new bunch are taking Poser in the right direction.

Thanks for all the tips though, I have now got my old P4 installation running again, along with the old models like V3 and M3. I have also installed the DAZ Studio thingy, but haven't really been able to make it fly yet.

I guess I need to find out more about the upgrades, since I unfortunately missed out on the P5 offer. Does 6 and seven work in a similar way, and have you got a good amount of control over textures, without rsorting to buying loads of 'nearly right' stuff. In P4 I used the ability to make my own textures in photoshop, extensively, to get exactly the right feel. Hopefully this will still work in the later versions, and would hope they should be much better. Presumably the rendering engine is more sophisticated with regard to how it deals with light, texture, reflection,  diffuse and specular properties.

How does hair work with these, it is one thing I had the most difficulty with before.

Thanks again for tips and feedback.

Mmm! nice lips Angelouscuitry ;)
