Thanks for that link, April, it is very good news. I was getting a little worried about that program since DAZ & CL started "talking" again. It shouldn't be hard for any new program to beat Poser in useability and function. All they need are a few designers and programmers that know what they're doing with today's OS's and hardware and are unfamiliar with Poser. "All I ask Daz to consider is that most of us already have our Poser related models, textures, etc. placed within a Poser 4 directory. It would be nice and very considerate of them if they allowed us to somehow directly link to that structure without having to reload everything or, worse, keep two working directories of the same stuff." This might be tough. To keep compatibility with legacy models, they might have to come up with directory handling similar to Poser's (yuck!). If it were all new, they should be able to create an open structure, allowing you to use whatever directory system you want. Like every other program I've ever used. But whatever they come up with, I bet they don't include some Nazi software protection scheme that forces registration and causes customer's nightmares. I'd bet that almost everyone's installation goes as smoothly as casamerica's did with P5.
