I was extremely disconcerted over Poser 5 and wished that I hadn't pre-ordered it. I still find myhself doing most of my posing in Poser 4 with PP and then bringing the scenes into Poser 5 for rendering with the Firefly engine (not to mention a lot of the python scripts I'd purchased for 4 won't even function in 5). I wished Poser 5 had fewer "new" features and more of the improvements that people here at the Renderosity Forum had asked for. I'm with everyone above that says finish Poser 5! Provide documentation that actually tells you how to do something as well. I hate the new materials room, which is so cryptic that I can't begin to figure it out, wish they had made dynamic cloth easier to use, and find good old fashioned hair peices with transparency maps far superior to "dynamic" hair (which mostly looks like a mop of straw on the models heads than real hair when I've attempted using it). Excuse me for being bitter, but I agree with the folks above that unless they make radical improvements that actually address what people really want, there won't be a Poser 6 in my future. I'm pinning my hopes on Daz Studio, which I hope will be both easier to use and actually give people the features that they've been asking for.
