I have been away from Renderosity for nearly 9 months because I was expecting a baby. After nearly a month at home I have new strenght and will resume my modeling and poser habit. I reloaded Poser 5 and installed the new SR-3, I also bought the new Mimic Pro 2.0 which I love. However after installing Poser 5 I realized why I hate it so much. It is slow as hell. The SR-3 took care of some of the bugs, but the walk designer still sucks which is a shame because I love animation. Poser 4 and Poser Pro Pack was way more stable. Poser 5 can't even work with Cinema 4dxl 7.2 unless I can find a workaround. So I come to the experts in this forum for advice. Since I plan on modeling clothes and furniture I am going to upgrade to Rhino 3.0 so is Poser with Pro Pack enough for the job without all the bells and whistles that Poser 5 had like materials, face room and the hair room. Or should I wait for Daz's new program which by the looks of it could mean Posers death. Secondly should I upgrade my system. I think it is fast enough considering I can handle Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe Premiere without a hiccup and I can run my other programs without any problems. My current configuration is a PIII 1.2 GHZ and 386 MB RAM. I have several harddrives, defrag regularly, and use an ASUS Motherboard which is stable.I also run Windows 2000. What configurations is anyone out there using and can you recommend anything. Thanks in advance. Renaylor@renderosity.com
