Don't quote me as being 100% certain Taura, as I having been trying to get a definitive answer myself. From what I can gather from people who know far more than I do my impression is that at least for now the communication directly between Poser and CDXL, Lightwave, and Max will (temporarily at least) be lost. I can't see CL waiting long to update this however, as users who are used to this communication with PPpack and P4 will be itchin' to get going again with P5. I could be wrong about this though... krimpr
