since you seem to be the MD promotor, just some questions:

1. is MD - on say a yearly basis - still about 10 times as expensive as Poser?
   (at this moment MD goes for $350/year at 50% rebate, Poser updates once in 1 or 2 years, for $78,- without the fierce rebate is has once or twice a year).

2. can MD handle / import quads by now, or is it still on tris only?
   (not according to their FAQ, but that might be lagging behind a bit)

3. can MD animatie / export (as animated morph targets preferrably) multiple clothing items in a multi-object environment? For example:

Two girls and two boys, swirling around each other. Girls wear wide flamengo dresses, which rise and rotate due to girl movement / gravity / air damping, dresses interact / collide with each other, and collide / interact with the male legs as well.

(I only see MD in single character single garment situations, that's why I'm asking).

You know, I like both products, but comparing them with words like superior seems to me like comparing a Ferrari F1 with a Fiat 500. Both Italian, both red, both names start with an F. And for shopping in Rome or Amsterdam, the Fiat is by far superior :-)

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
