If you mean the materials editor- yes, it can now get quite DEEP. I'm not a P5 user (I have it but prefer Pro-Pack) but it appears that the new features of the editor seem to help set up the potential of either transfering or closely approximating P5 materials. This would be for obvious marketing reasons and would make P5 users very happy. The other potential of this, discussed somewhat in a thread lower down, is to create Anime character Cel-Shade materials that approximate what Cel Shaders in Lightwave do. Landscape users probably don't care about this, but it has a lot of MARKETING potential for expanding Vue 5 sales in the Poser 5 user base...
