Since P5 won't have the plugins for lightwave etc, and many of the new features probably won't work with the plugins when they do come (this was stated somewhere I think), does that mean we won't be able to create a character,pose it, export it as an obj then import it into PPP or another program and retain everything? Also is P5 a totally separate program so you can still use PPP as is on the same or other networked machine? It also seems there is still no possibility of using Poser with a render farm, particularly with this security key thing. Why would that be? It seems to go against being able to really use it as an animation tool which it is advertized as. Sorry if these questions have been discussed before. It's hard to keep up with all the threads.

I could be wrong but I think that the PPP Plug-ins are to be added at a later date and that they will include some (all?) of the new features. I'm still confused about which of the new features will be exportable via .OBJ/3DS/etc. Pretty sure PPP is completely integrated into P5. Dan

You can install P5 separately from P4 and use both versions with no problems. You can also link your P4 Libraries to P5, meaning you can access both libraries from within P5. If you export a figure to PPP, you will only be able to use those features supported by PPP.

But no render farm ability?

OOOh! OOOH! I can point Poser 5 at my Poser 4 runtime?! YAY! WOOHOO! I have been going through my libraries, cleaning up in preparation for P5, and was moaning and groaning about the idea of have 2 copies of Runtime.. one 20 GB P4 Runtime, and one 20GB P5 Runtime. ;)

You can create and point P5 at ANY runtime folder you want. Want to put all your Poser content on one or more removable drives? Go for it. Have all your stuff in a different folder, on a different drive, even a mapped drive on your local network? Have at it!

Nosfiratu Does this mean I can put runtime on a CD-R or CD-RW, and have multiple CD's with different catagories of runtime? A CD for figures, a CD for buildings, a CD for props, a CD... you get the idea?
