Yes it looks and sounds good but in the words of Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction, "lets not start sucking each others d**** just yet" Let them get on with it and time will tell if its the answer to everyones dreams. In the meantime, stop crying about all the things you don't like about Poser 5 and actually get stuck in and work with it. Its a very powerful program with very powerful, as yet, untapped features but like all great software, theres a learning curve so everything is not going to be instant. Take some time to learn each room and you'll start to realise just what this baby can do. Rik
