This is a first for me...CyberStretch, I agree with every point you made. ;)

Nihao Asciicodeplus! ;)

Yeah, I get TechTV also... But, just like Marque...I know I've seen the p4 dork in numorus Eyedrop Animations. However, I've also noticed that some(not all) folks that use other 3D programs (Maya, 3Dmax, yadda, yadda, yadda) don't like to admit they use poser (in-the-closet poser users).

How about this...Success only comes before work in the dictionary. wusamah - Amen bro...there are many of us who fell the same.

Hmm, has anyone noticed how DAZ has purchased (Mimic) or has selling agreements (Vue, Deep Paint...yadda,yadda, yadda) with major software companies that utilize or enhance poser models. Sounds like there could be a major animation software player...Or is DAZ using these forums as a ploy/tactic to influence CL (Ahh, then the soap opera music chimes in as I arch one eyebrow).

Amen! I am real looking forward to our talented Renderosity-Poser Artist getting a hold of P5 and pushing the limits of its power. Beyond all the "bug" and "error" post, (IMO)CL has tried give a answer to two of the most asked questions for poser software: 2. How do you put a persons face on a poser figure (face room)? 3. How do you make life-like textures (material room/shaders)? I haven't received my copy yet (Airhoe Express tip 1.- Don't be a cheap a#@ like me. Pay the few bucks for next-day shiping. With Airhoe, It might arrive...hmmm...the day-next-to-the-next-day); but, I look forward to some interesting stuff in the next months. PS: Hee, hee...What the #1 asked newbie question? Don't know...Take a guess ;) Ken Self-Proclaimed King of all Newbies

Now that's serious comb-over hair!

I guess the only other question I have is the new file management system. Does it work well? Or do I need to purchase PBooost? Does it still work even if you have a separate P4 installed?

Kewl bloodsong! I've been studing Cinema 4D this past month and I knew all too well the power of shaders. This is one of the reasons I bought P5.

Yeah, I kinda got that impression of doing a separate install.

I got no info also...I figure it's sitting in some Airborne Warehouse in Cali. But at least CL is trying to fulfill all orders...even for us fellow grounders (too broke to pay for next-day)

It is rather confusing...I saw a simular post by starlet on this past friday. You might want to double check your email. I ordered mine on 8/23 and I just got my tracking number as I am posting this message. Himico - you ordered around that same time (or anyone else) double check ;)

Yeah, I got the same (copy/paste) mail respone when I emailed them (I ordered Aug 23). I'm trying not to freak-out too much. Or read into any mail messages (like the one you and I also received). We can only imagine the amount of orders (and overnight/next-day orders) a small company can fill in one day.

Awww, Boo-Hoo! I haven't received tracking squat from CL(and I pre-ordered weeks before this past Friday). Man, All of yaw are gonna get to play with all the cool stuff before I get it ;) (and the envy soaks in...)

Well said SAMS3D! As much as I'm trying to stay cool...I (as others I've seen posted) can't wait to play with the new addons in P5.
