"if you really want MP sujpport and hardware accleration you are betteroff saving for a real 3D application that imports poser files like cinema 4DXl or vue or lightwave." But I prefer the simplicity of Poser. It does what I need, no fluffy dice I don't need. If they'd made a good, windows standard user interface instead of this messed up strangeness that is part windows, part mac and mainly just strange, they'd saved enough development time to do SMP support and a radiosity renderer (which would be great to remove the plastic look). CL should look at how the user interface works in Visual Studio .Net, especially the properties list which could replace all the dials, color selectors, texture selector and so on. They could also learn how a button should look: nice, square and single color background. I don't have this problem, but I have friends with bad eyesight, and to them the user interface is almost unusable. I don't know why they would use a graphic app, but still... Oh, while I'm whining: Poser really handles multimonitor badly (but not as bad as Bryce...). Especially among people who work with graphics, this should be a common configuration. /Troberg
