I'm a C5 owner.... used it for a little while and then returned to Poser 6 again. Once in a while I still use it, but not often.

I bought C5 for doing multiple figure scenes. At the time I was using Poser 5 and Vue. Vue handles Poser figures badly and multiple figures even worse, so I switched to C5 with transposer, hoping it would do a better job. Not really...... it handles multiple figure scene pretty badly also. C5 becomes really slow and rendering (even with low settings) takes ages. While C5 has impressive features, it's slowness and slow render times spoils all the fun.

In the end I bought Poser 6 and I've not regretted it. For me it handles multiple figure scenes just fine and they even render at acceptable quality and in a acceptable time.

I wondered if C6 would do any better, but reading all of the problems people are facing, the many bugs (it's even worse then the initial poser releases) and looking at the horrible looking renders shown here that took a long time to render, I changed my mind and I'm going to spent my money on something else.

I also did try Vue 6, but that really is a joke, so I spent that money on buying a lot of landscape items and plants for Poser. Much better spent money.

I'm sticking to Poser and for my modeling needs I use my good Cinema4D v6 that offers far more modeling tools then C6 does and is very fast at everything.

Carrara sounds very impressive, until you start to use it, then it suddenly isn't as impressive anymore and after a while the way it worked even started to annoy me.

Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!
