How do, Sam!
Actually, I have Poser 5 Professional Edition as well, but I never got in to it. It changed a fair bit compared to Poser 3 and I lost interest in it. I recall it got a fancy new hair and cloth room which looked promising, but none of it worked for me. That said, I didn't have a very powerful computer back then, so using the new hair and cloth appeared to be a routine of struggle and crash, struggle and crash. So I tried DAZ Studio, but DAZ studio never had the walk designer Poser has, not even during Poser 5 times. In the end I decided to ditch my hopes of working with figures for a while, and went back to Bryce.
Years later, I've found out DAZ Studio still doesn't have a walk designer. Luckily Poser does, but it appears to be the same one it had back in Poser 5, using that old 'wire-bones' preview (if the YouTube videos I've been watching are anything to go by). The Poser timeline appears to be the same as in Poser 5 as well, very strange, so I hope that's not the case.
RorrKonn, I remember trueSpace. They used to market it to me like crazy through email. Sounds like Microsoft swallowed it up then. Maybe that's why the marketing emails stopped coming!
Timberwolf. I remember those plastic hairstyles, but I do like the female figure they used back then, called Posette. I thought she was great and still do! And funny enough, I still see her used in renderings and animations on Deviant Art, YouTube etc, even today. Maybe her long legs keep on attracting the male artists?
Well, who knows, but the lady does have lovely long legs!
