Yes, rec'd mine yesterday (Monday). I have been really pleased with mine. So far, a smooth install and registration. I have messed around in the Material room and haven't had any problems which is great as I was quite worried with so many reporting errors. ~Di

I got mine yesterday. No problems with installation and it runs brilliantly. The new features are cracking! I was quite worried after all the winges on the forum about it crashing. Im running win2K on an Intel Pentium 4 2GHz on an Intel motherboard with a VividXS video card (Videologic). Ive not managed to crash the program yet. It was easy to install, and to link my Poser4 Runtime to. (Which I backed up before I installed just in case. I didnt know I had 7Gigs of models/poses/textures etc installed until I did the backup. No wonder it used to stall my old system!!) Anyway back to the serious issues, yes there are some parts which are not working properly. Which Im sure CL will sort out with a patch or two. I would recomend it, the rendering engine alone is worth the money for the update, couple that with the range of features of the hair, faceroom and the flexability of the new materials it is deffinatley worth it! This program is going to make my life so much easier, and my animations much more realistic. I hope the plugins such as the Shockwave exporter are available for Poser5 soon. (Thats a big part of my work with the program) I`d like to say well done Curious Labs for an excellent product! (Yes I know about the things that need fixing but as a software developer I know how difficult it is to iron out all the problems in Beta Testing, the product needs a real world run with the people who want to use it before everything can be solved)

Got mine yesterday, too. Installation went very smoothly. But I haven't had time to do much with the software as yet. Looks good so far, tho!

Mine came yesterday too. Absolutely brilliant! No crashes, no problems. It's already saving me time animating. I did go out and buy a new system especially for it though, so I'm having fun with that too....
