As an aside, I cannot recommend upgrading from Poser 6 to Poser 7 in its current state.  The multithreaded rendering was the main reason I was interested in it, and currently it has some very bad technical problems.  Smoothing behavior is very erratic, and depth mapped shadows are inexplicably wierd for reasons I don't understand, e.g. line patterns in shadows that should not be there, even with very very high render settings and very large shadow map size.  I'm done wasting my time with it personally, it'll only be used to set up the scene and do any dynamic cloth or hair.  Even when smoothing worked correctly it was still far slower and lower quality than Vue.  Memory management is greatly improved, but that's really mostly an issue during rendering anyway, and that's FUBAR.

If you spend money, put it into Vue 6 of some version if you don't already have it.
