Quote - It is a game changer in this corner of the CG universe. Those not decided about which software to use can get DS 4 Pro for free for 29 days. Poser Pro 2012 won't be free. Easy pick for most people in these tight times. And anyone wanting to try the Pro version will now have all the regular Pro features to play with. This will substantially increase their user base and gain them more folks wanting to buy content which is still their main business.

And I would bet that previous purchasers will get the future 4.1 release for free or reduced price (it's the version with the big render speedup). The freebie folks will have to upgrade for the render joy. That's my guess for the future.

Whatever.

I have barely more than two nickels to rub together. I started modeling mostly because I had to make what I was unable to buy. This isn't a game changer as far as I'm concerned. For instance, I can get DS4 Pro for free  or I can buy Poser Pro 2012. Guess what I'm buying in two weeks?
