Hi, Couple questions: (1) Where can I get the best price on Poser 4? (I want the full, commercial version, shrinkwrapped - no copies or academic) (2) Will the Propack help me if all I want to do is import into Vue d'esprit 4? I don't own Lightwave or Max and am not interested in putting things on the web. Thanks.

I would think the price will start coming down. Once in a while ebay has an unopened box, but there's always a risk there. I got mine from DAZ and used the vouchers to get more stuff for cheap. I'll let someone else address PP cuz I got them both at once and really don't know all the differences. However, if you are going to get PPP, for the same money, there's P5 and if you want to export all the old P4 models it still does that just fine. What I don't know about P5 is if Vue will read the new pz3's.

You do not need ProPack to import to Vue d'Esprit. Vue will import a full Poser 4 scene without problems, just make sure that Vue is patched to the latest version (4.1).

Very helpful. Thanks.
