i am going to buy poser5 about christmas ... (if i can wait that long time ;) - i have a P4 1.6 Ghz with 512 MEG RAM - think it should be sufficient - and W98SE. the main things i am very eager to use are: the procedural textures and the hair studio and the face room. and i want to start with python-scripting - hope it will be possible to automate some tasks within poser. and i am glad to have some minor advances like using png and other file formats, improved libraray palette and so on. the other features? - i am just reading the manual ... joe
