This reviewer is spot on, especially when he says "This inadequacy is representative of all that's wrong about Poser 5. The program has many fantastic new features, but they've only been implemented in an introductory kind of way, and it's really easy to see how each feature could have been improved or made easier to use. Curious just failed to dot the 'i's and cross the 't's, and it's frustrating to think what could have been."

This is a major frustration for someone, like me, who has been a Poser-faithful since Version 2 and sees the unparalleled potentional. That, the "slap some third party apps onto the old P4 interface" feel, and the lack of documentation too. It's certainly has potential ... I just hope in the long run that's not all it has.

As far as the FACE ROOM, it is where I have spent 90% of my time, so I know it in and out, and it has quite a few shortcomings. I believe the reviewer was speaking of actually getting a face/head that looks like the person you want it to.

It's a lot of fun, and you can make some interesting faces, but it has very frustrating tools, is missing some important items/functions, and ultimately you can't make a virtual Bob, John, Tim or Amy.

Thanks for the review post!
