I started with Poser 1 after using an obscure similar program called mannequin. Bought Poser 2 and 3 ,but skipped 4 and the propack because it wasn't available in Holland for some time and 'don't know if internetshopping was possible in those days. Anyway I ordered Poser 5,6,7 and poserpro. But I really started to use it after release 5, poser 1 and 2 were just toys. I still have some old renders I made in 1998 in Bryce with some poserfigures imported in it.
I used Bryce because poser wasn't very useful as a renderer: only three infinite lights, no material room, no raytracing. The only thing that was rather advanced for its time were the animation tools, it's a pity that hasn't been developed better over the years. Bryce was a better program than Vue then.
best regards,
Bopper.
