Hey Brian, again thanks for your input.  I spent $150 on the above site and I get unlimited downloads for a year of all the characters on the site (many more planned since the site has been open for a couple of weeks).  For the money I've spent on V4, M4, and of course any new characters I spent well over $150 after actually downloading the figures at Ir-models I can say they are way more realistic than anything I had in Poser 7 or DAZ.  So to me it was not as costly as what I have spent over a years time at DAZ.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing DAZ characters or any other character designed for Poser, but I'm just pointing out that I'm moving to the next level and sharing with everybody why and what else is out there.

Hey ShawnDriscoll, after almost a month with LW I couldn't agree with you more!

For anybody else who wants to reach that new level of realism with 3d characters, check out CGtalk, Newtek, and the above site I've mentioned.

Thank you both!
