The publisher's reaction was hilarious - Gee, we don't know when it's coming out, but we're sure we can quickly put a book together on how to use it once we get a copy of the program. Shamms Mortier would get himself laughed out of Renderosity if he ever showed up here. My stuff 2 years ago was better than his crap, and I'm not very good at Poser or Bryce. I've seen first pictures from absolute newbies that show more ability than his published stuff. I absolutely do not understand how he got more than one book published. I admit I was suckered into buying two books. The first one was because I didn't know any better. The second was due to a misunderstanding, and I was POed when I realised whose book I'd picked up instead of the one that I wanted.
