this was sposeta be one of the big advantages of APS CS3 extended. viewing the 3d model texture changes in CS3, as opposed to having to switch apps between CS3 and poser. but since the texmap hasta be resaved prior to reviewing in CS3, is the 0.5 second required to switch to poser really worth the extra $1,000 required to enable it? No. unless they're saying that cs3 is too unstable to run concurrently with poser (or vice versa) IMVHO. not to mention how much worse the cs3 preview is than the poser preview.
