I had been playing with Bryce 2 for awhile- and was also playing Marathon (an indirect ancestor of Halo) on my Mac. Someone was making new characters with Poser2- so I picked up a copy a little while before Poser3 came out. Poser 3 was great-
"loved" the plastic helmet hair (no transmapping). I also bought Infini-D and Ray Dream Designer (later became Carrara) but did little with them except make morphs for Poser.

 Got Poser 4- skipped 5 got 6. Was able to side-grade upgrade from InfiniD to Lightwave 6. Took a long 3D vacation- and got back in with PoserPro2010.

 

 Hawfyr-thanks for reminding me of Martin Murphys art- great stuff that!
