Greetings!

Ye Olde poser user here(P5, 6, 7, pro2010, 9 & anti-postwork to boot), as was mentioned in another post, to my audible chuckling, we want more, we want to create our own stuff, when our idols start making really wtf stuff, we feel the universe nudge us to do more, kerplunk

So, I took the dive, I have had blender 2.60 64bit on win7 64bit. I got a box seamed, uv mapped, exported and imported into poser, yay!

and then i read about poser to blender, the whole thread about using the scripts, then about cycles and that 2.72 offers a lot more than I had even thought possible, cough cycles. and I'm a little like a deer in the headlights about how to go about this correctly. Pardon the seemingly infantile simplicity of the question, but it's like a simple yes/no tax question, the more you think about it, the more unsure you are...

Do I uninstall 2.60 completely then reinstall 2.72? I downloaded the 64bit version by the by, assuming it would perform better on my 64bit OS. My 64 bit P Pro2010 actually performs better then my 32bit p9 install or maybe I'm imagining that due to the $ difference, ha.

do you guys have modeling challenges? I'd love some light hearted competition, imaginary prizes, novice level stuff

anyway, like the community feel I have been reading, even the angry 'what's wrong with the world?!' guy, lol

ps- as original intents go, i wanted to use poser to make comics, eventually transition to modeling to make the comics more unique and maybe make a little money, but I'm probably a better writer than a storyboard artist, that and poser renders + comic balloons just look harshly bad unless you use a filter to make the render lose all it's 3d-ness, the irony... I have never let go of the secret desire to model(3d objects not strut), but it's time to light the fuse, dud or boom, I don't care, let's do this and finally answer the question.
