"The speed issues etc. will also be a completely different beast. If the Mac version is optimized for the Altivec engine in the G4s it may have far superior performance than on PCs." Not likely Bob, the altivec engine of the G4s are part of the chips hardware"instruction set" if curious labs could not build dual processor support or graphics card acceleration into poser5 its not likely We MAC users will see any special Hardware chip support. "The Firefly renderer may require finesse but the key to good renderings is in the lighting." But good lighting requires a good lighting system :-) as a Lightwave owner i dont need to tell you this Poser5's lack of volumetric visible lighting is a major drawback in that you cant simulate real world scenes like a woman sitting in front of windowblinds at sunrise and the beams peeking through.
