Please, I'm not trolling for a flamewar; just looking for some opinions from folks who use Poser a lot. I'm a very casual user, generally upgrading since version #1, but skipping every few versions. Have become sort of proficient with version #4, and have purchased Victoria from DAZ as well as some of the things from the Marketplace here. I usually use Poser along with other applications, like Bryce. Some of the new features, like hair and cloth, sound attractive, but I have managed until now using 3rd party add-ons or post-work. The greatest improvement, IMO, would be predictable operation and ease of posing. I have fun with it, but it is not my major thing in life. Question is: is Poser #5 a worthwhile purchase for such casual use? Frankly, the "upgrade" fee from version #4 strikes me as high, and the amount of "beta" work going on scares me quite a bit. Since Poser #5 came out, I've sort of been looking for a major shot of excitement in the Gallery, and have sort of missed it. Getting really good results is more due to the skill that to the tool.
