The only reason why I can think of why CL dose not support Direct X and open gl is because so many other programs, like 3d studio max; which im having problems with this plug in which i posted about a few min ago on another topic, allow you to import poser things into those other programs so maybe CL figures if they want to use open gl or direct x let them export there work from poser into those programs and use it that way...who knows im just glade I didnt buy poser 5 it looks good on its screen shots and even in the last issue of renderosity magaizine but after all this I think im going to stay with my Poser 4 Propack after all I have only had it for a year so maybe time I get to be an expert CL or who ever they might be by then will have all this mess fixed up and I will consider buying there product. Dont get me wrong I think they have a good product they just dropped the ball so to speak on this one it happens to the best of them think about Bill Gates when he was demostrating Windows 98 in front of 1000 of people talking about how stable it was and what happened during his demostration the system crashed but they recovered from this and eventually I think CL wil as well Dark_Raven
