Not having seen the P3 book I say there is a lot of the same content. Just glancing through it quickly it feels padded. For example there are some useful charts and details on how to pose animals, then page after page of REALLY deformed critters with no explanation of how (or why for that matter). Do I really need to know what happens when I set the left eyebrow dial to 1000? If you are a newbie (or a midlevel newbie for that matter) I think you will find it all useful as it seem to want to inspire you to create rather than to slavishly follow an endless tutorial. The section on cameras and light is practally non-existant Too bad. Haven't looked at the CD yet but it is loaded with all the utilities we all already have. The section written by "Poser Masters" is a fun read esp the one written by the Zygote team. Overall score - C+ (ohmygawd a gentleman's C) ie its probably worth having but only if you can't think of something better (meshes) to spend your money on. A good thing to buy at a convention. jje

Ack! Sounds like another shamms special ;-). Thanks for posting the revue. I was hoping for something more technical from this one. But it sounds like more of the same old same old. ScottA

And you saved me money also, forty dollars at Barnes Noble, but now I will use it for something better. Thanks, Bill

Thanks I already have the P3 book. Found I never used the thing-most of the info I picked up here-or learned myself by fiddling around. I'll keep an eye out for it and give a review. Eric

jje, what utilities are actually on the disk? I'd like to know if any of mine are there because nobody asked my permission. Maz

MAZ- I have the disk with me today and will go through it for content. If it is not too large I'll post a LS here later today. Otherwise I'll just write up a quick overview. jje
