I'd stir him to someplace like Ebay to find a copy of Poser3...this won't be stepping on anyones toe as Poser3 has been offered free on several magazine coverCD's(ComputarArt magazine in the UK may still have some for a small shipping charge).Still some nice things to be found on the net. for P3...gotta get Ultra Morph Woman & Man by Confusius.Most important is alot of things found in tut's for Poser4 can be applied to Poser3.
