Just to be fair to everyone, I must warn you. The latest copy of 3D Artist (at the Barnes and Noble in the east coast town where I live) does NOT have a copy of V5 on the CD. It has a copy of a texture for V5 "worth $25" and a code to get a 50% discount off V5 or one of two bundles for V5.

If I had gone only by the information in this forum I would have bought the issue, and I would have been disappointed.

I have seen no Genesis product that impresses me, or that I want for D/S or Poser, including V5. For me V5 at 50% off is 100% too much, especially if I must pay $15 (USD) plus tax to get the discount. There was nothing else in the magazine or on the disc I would have wanted.

Maybe some copies of CD Artist had V5, but not where I live. Check the magazine out carefully before you buy.
