I was just wondering, how did everyone here discover Poser in the first place? I thought we needed something to divert our attention from other things, so let's do something a bit more lighthearted. I stumbled onto Poser 2 at Egghead (back when they still had actual stores). It was on their bargain table. It had been returned by a customer who wanted something less detailed (can you imagine?). They had taken 5% off of the price, so I bought it at $159. A short time later, I found that Comp USA was selling it at $139 full price and it wasn't a dissatisfied customer's returned copy. I wanted something to help me visualize story characters better, but I realized that Poser 2 needed heavy post render work to make these people look like human beings. You can imagine how excited I was when I upgraded to Poser 3 and the people actually had posable faces!!! I've been addicted to it ever since, and the rest is history. Melanie
