So... we, as users, need to (goddess forbid) LEARN to do something, rather than relying on all our old tricks? Either that, or wait until people come out with updated scripts.

I'm not averse to learning... and somehow, some way, Poser Pro actually makes more sense to me.  I admit, I was shocked the first time I turned on GC, after building a scene with all the usual tricks (many of which just really, don't make sense... like lighting a scene with 4 lights that have intensities that add up to way over 100%).  But then when I started to play with it, and see why I was getting the results I was, I started to see that stuff actually worked the way I always thought it should... and not how I trained myself to think about how they worked in Poser.

This comes as a bit of a relief to me.
