I didn't get the lizard set but I got Frogs of the world and the Hivewire Horse, which is great, IMO. There are a lot of skins for it like the feline set that allows you to create some really alien-looking creatures! I also got a Hawks of North America set, some of which I've posted here. I was accepted as a Poser 11.2 'early adapter' and I'm running that now. I haven't found any bugs yet and everything seems fine, but they are actually doing NIGHTLY builds of it. I almost feel guilty because I'm not really putting it under any stress tests. ;o) "McG." <McGrandpaNOT@NOThotmail.com> wrote in message news:5d5e1bb5$1@LostBBS... > Agreed on Dawn/Dusk.
