Well, everyone has the right to publish a book, but sheesh, at least know what you're writing about, especially with a how-to book. He doesn't know how to adjust his camera focal setting so the figures don't look like mutants. He seems to use only the low res figures and the pre-dressed ones, like Casual Man. The facial expressions are absurd. He definately doesn't go for realism. His examples look cartoonish and certainly doesn't do Poser any justice. It doesn't show any examples of photorealism, which is what most of us using it are trying to achieve. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying both the Poser 3 and 4 versions of his book, as well as his Bryce books. Duh. I won't be buying Poser 5 Handbook, and not because anyone asked me not to buy it, but because I know what his past books are like. I'm sure others here could put together a book that is far above anything Mortier can do. Melanie
