Athlon 1.4 Ghz, 1GB ram, Win XP Pro 1. ease of security code install 5 - Web didn't work, I had to use email, but the reply was fast. 2. ease of face room 7 - not too hard, but not as flexible as I expected either. 3. ease of hair creation (new styles) n/a 4. overall render speed 8 - pretty fast so far, but crashes a lot at render. 5. overall ease of user interface 3 - It's not that it's hard, but it's not user-friendly. For instance there is no earthly reason for material nodes to use terms like Ka, Kd and Ks. It should use WORDS, and leave the code behind the scenes. It's also still completely impossible to customize. 6. quaility of P4 renders n/a 7. quaility of firefly renders 6 - Heaps better than P4, but there are some issues. Many texture maps will need to be reworked because in firefly they show white seams. 8. program stability 2 :) 1. Judy is... b. better than posette, but worse than Vicky 1 2. Don is... b. better than dork, but worse than Mike 1 3. I would rate the value of P5 as.. d. just right, worth every penny
