Tim: We did actually get some level of depth of field in P5. I won't say that it's great, because I haven't had a chance to explore all aspects of the new renderer and camera options yet. Hopefully, we can get these tools working as quickly as possible so that the animators have something new to work with. I'll even cross the bridge and say that the motion blurring is a little goofy, but it has potential, too, I think. I wasn't trying to be patronizing. I'm sorry I came across that way. I really do have high hopes for this product, and think it has enormous potential. While Poser 4 offered very little funcionality over P3, the difference in what we see in the galleries is incredible. P5 will allow us, in 3 months, 6 months, a year, to be progressing yet again farther than we ever could imagine possible from this moment. Another option I would consider is talking to others in the animation community who might be capable of writing a plugset for Poser to handle walk design and motion handling. It worked for Mimic, after all. It might seem outrageous for me to stand here and suggest we look at third party developers for full plug sets, but I think they'd give us an open ear. Reiss-Studio with Poser to Maya, Mental Ray, Cebas Final Render, and more are all examples of long needed plugs developed from third party sources because of community desire. So why not give it a shot? Paul
