Poser Figure Magic, Poser Figure Studio 2 new Japanese Poser books on amazon.co.jp Since the titles were in English I took a risk there was English translations to the text as I've seen in other Japanese art books I've bought, and ordered them. Unfortunately, aside from the title, some chapter headings, and some key terms, it's 99.7% Japanese characters. Pity, as both seem to be packed with exhaustively illustrated step-by-step tutorials. Mildly embarrassing to admit the impulse-buy, but I felt it was a bout a 50-50 chance this might be the case, so I won't kick. Anyone else familiar with these two titles? Any chance there's an English translation in the works? It's curious how many Japanese publications I've seen that casually include English text among the ideograms. I've seen it a lot in magazines, but never in English titled books. Fascinating, really. In any event, these both look like excellent quality publications, and I heartily recommend them to anyone who reads Kanji or is a visual aphasic. G
