I agree with you soulhuntre on most points, even tho I don't have any sophisicated software other than Photoshop. The one thing that I worry about and have always worried about with future upgrades of Poser, especially with the following it has (and I love it), is that the features as they become more and more high-end will make the price of the program more than what hobbyists can afford. I think a LOT of the Poser community and user base is, after all, just in it for the hobby. I spend enough just for things to us IN Poser as it is ;). Laurie
