foleypro, >>>Should I wait for Daz's new Proggy or just hop out and buy Poser5....<<< Wait and see the initial reaction to the Daz promgram. >>>I have heard all the horror stories and have seen a few coming from P5,Have they fixed the Problems?<<< No. I have yet been able to do an animation for ANY of our clients in ----- -. And I would say it is batting less than .750 on still renders for us. >>>When is Daz's coming out?<<< No idea. But unless you have the money to burn, I could not in good conscience advise anyone to buy ----- - at this point in time. If you have to have a program now, I would echo the advise of some others and go with Pro Pack for your LW imports. Even if CL came out with LW import capability tomorrow for ----- -, would it be any more reliable or stable than ----- - is at this moment? I have ----- - currently loaded on a P4 2.2 ghz, 1 gb DDR SDRAM, 64MB GeForce4 MX Nvidia graphix card, 80 gb HD and WinXP Home. Poser 4, Vue 4, Bryce 4, TrueSpace 6, Cinema 4d and Rhino 2 run with no problems. ----- - constantly crashes, freezes, locksup or otherwise chokes and pukes the BSOD. Until ----- - was loaded, this system had never, I repeat NEVER, crashed or locked up. Never. Take care and be well. casamerica P.S. - Love the nic BTW.
