I started with Poser 4 in August, 1999, but really didn't get the hang of it until Poser 5 came out in 2002.  I started using it because I still fancied myself to be an artist of some sort, at the time, having grown up with people telling me I was one because I had a basic talent (although limited skill) for drawing.  Hmm.  Now I recognize that I'm no artist.  I spend most of my time with Poser tinkering and building, rarely making images beyond basic test renders.  That and cursing a lot, mainly at the joint handling.  Hoo boy.  Oddly, Poser's joints didn't bother me when I was more interested in using it for making images.  Hmm.

The P4 days were good times, IMO.  It's a different world, now.  Not necessarily better or worse, just very different.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
