Okay for now I do not have this one. I am however thinking of getting it. My question is about all the extra thingys I have added to poser 4. When I install 5 would it install over 4 or as a new program? Also what would happen to my stuff would it have to be all reloaded into 5 ? I am okay with poser 4 so if 5 is going to be a pain to install then I don't think I will bother with it. I'm pretty new to poser 4 so I'm not overly concerned with upgrading yet, but if I decide to it would be nice to know I won't have to start all over with the files lol. Thanks for any help.

Poser 5 installs on it's own in a seperate directory and you can link poser 5 to poser4's runtime. this allows all your poser 4 content to be used in poser 5. it also leaves your poser 4 compeletely alone. so you can run poser4 anytime. V3 really needs to be installed in poser 5 root runtime, I've heard that installing V3 into poser4 runtime and injecting morphs in poser 5 is slow if it works much at all. that being said, I do not have poser 4 so I do not know this for sure, only what I've read here in the forums. as far as learning curve, I used poser4 on a couple of projects with friends and once I got poser 5 it was mostly the same. Material settings is a lot more powerful with poser 5 material room, and of course there are all the new goodies that are specifically poser 5. for the most part if you've used poser4, using poser 5 isn't going to be a rough transition. hope that helps some.
