I am waiting for the OSX version of the cinema hosting plugin before i buy because poser5's new render engine will be slower than cinema's. and wont offer any particle or liquid simulation systems. c1rcle: yes the collsions will have to be calculated before you render anything just like the dynamic/collision engines of Lightwave and cinema 4dXL only it will force you to do the processing one ONE processor. which is a shame because the next generation of super boxes from APPLE and Intel/AMD will likely have more than two processors Cinema support up to 16 processors. Kupa bragged that he did single render of a strand Based hair scene in 6 minutes Great!!..... for a still but an eight second animation at that rate will take 24 hours to render!! Assuming no other render intensive surfaces materials in the scene. and not countin the physics calculation times BEFORE any rendering is started. let the fun begin:-)
