He posted this today... Hi- Thanks to all of the folks who contributed tutorials, images, CD content, and helpful criticism to the next Poser Handbook. Those of you who didn't bother to contact me with your wishes and helpful remarks, yet still spend all of your potential creative energy complaining will sadly not be heard. The gates are closed to further submissions except from those already contacted. In my estimation (thoughwe alwayswant more, don't we) Poser 5 is one of the best 3D applications on the market,.. eriod. It does what it says it does, and in a high quality manner. I have been with Poser, like many of you, since Poser 1, and I loved it even then. Thanks the gods that Kewp and company extricated themselves out from under MetaMiscreations, or we'd still be working with Poser 2... or worse yet, it would be a horrid Poser 10. CuriousLabs deserves all of the plaudits it gets for this one! So does DAZ, Renderosity, PoserWorld, and the dozens of developers who have given so much content for others to use, and are still at it. Did you know that you can freely download over 10GB of Poser files from Renderosity and other Poser developers? That is truly awesome, and then there's all the content that some extremely creative folks are marketing at bargain prices on top of that. It's a good thing fat Firewire drives are inexpensive these days, as is RAM and very nice Mac and Win systems. On another matter, I write a monthly newsletter at Charles River Media's site (check it out at www.charlesriver.com) For August, I have started a Poser section that will reference a lot of the Poser stuff being marketed. many developers have sent stuff for review so far,l and more are yet to be reviewed. If you are a Poser developer and would like to see your stuff in the newsletter, contact me off the listat rshamms@adelphia.net Shamms Mortier
