Well, if you take a look at the EasyPose Tube 2.0 in freestuff, that was set up with the EasyPose panel - without it none of the extra dials that control multiple body parts would be in the figure. My tentacle hair in the DAZ freestuff (shown in the first picture above) was also set up using the EasyPose panel, so that's an example of using that panel. On both of those figures, I also used the properties panel to bulk rename all of the xrot dials to Bend, yrot to Twist and zrot to Side-Side, to make the dial names more intuitive. You can rename all of those in every body part at once, so it's a lot faster than trying to rename them one at a time in Poser. The DystopiaTM set that Moebius87, billy-home and I have in the store is an example of what you can do with the switching geometry tool. You can load what looks like one city block and then turn a dial to make it show any one of the full set of 10 city blocks. If you were building a machine with meshing gears, you could use the ERC and Dial management panel to make a dial that makes all of the gears turn in sync. You would also use the properties panel to turn off bending for all of the machine body parts, since gears and things are rigid and aren't meant to distort when they move. You could turn off bending in Poser, but this way is a lot faster. If you were making a room interior, you could use the properties panel to turn off shadow casting for all four walls and the ceiling at once, so the inside of the room won't render dark. I'd say this software is primarily for people who make poser cr2 files - ie figure makers and character makers. You can also use it to edit cr2s you've bought from somebody else. For example, there were some things I didn't like about a few products I've bought so I used EasyPose Underground to rip out all of the ERC they came with and rebuild it the way I wanted it to work. I know some of my customers never make figures of their own, but like having the software because it means that if they buy something that they want to have EasyPose but which doesn't, it will only take them a moment to put EasyPose into the figure themselves after buying it.
