@SaintFox: I guess I'm just not "into" Poser and related things enough to want to make it my main source of income, whether or not that would be an easy thing to achieve. But also, I think my other interests might have a better chance to lead to contract work, and thus provide me with steady streams of income at least for a few months at a time. :-)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "knitting" a node into a shader tree. Could you give an example?

Unrelatedly, does anyone recall which Python versions ship with Poser 8 and 9?
