I think he means the fact that Lightwave doesn't split the mesh by mesh groups, which if you do lots of clothing, is almost the holy grail of an ideal feature.

That being said, I do my Poser stuff in a combination of Silo, Shade, Amapi, Zbrush, 3d-coat, and Lightwave, depending on what I need to be done.

I agree, Shade has a very specific "mentality", which is not for everyone. I am happy with it, I must be one of the lucky guys ;)

still hooked to real life and enjoying the siesta!
