I'm looking forward to checking this out. I haven't read The Manual - it's not much to me use till the Mac version is on the near horizon. I'm evesdropping on all these posts though, picking up what I can. I'm afraid I'm going to end up needing a Lightwave to Poser Materials translation guide - unless a "node" is simply another term for "shader." I'm pleased to see people are starting to create! I know the learning curve has been a bit of a shock for some. But the jump from a "hobbyist" level to a Pro level is big regardless of what software you're using. There's one heck of a lot of talent here and I'm glad people are getting the chance to move up in terms of tools and technology. If they add an extra hour of work before the render but it results in 2 hours less post work, they're ahead! What's more, they can animate it! Bobasaur (I am 7 of 12)

Before they made me they broke the mold!
