If you go back and read the CL CEO Q&A he stated that SR-4 for Poser 5 would be the next thing they work on, and THEN Poser 6 to fix any remaning issues with no major functionality change, that they want to do OpenGL for Poser, but they would have to look into it. To me that does not sound all that great. The CL CEO apparently doesn't have enough confidence that SR-4 will fix it all, and that Poser6 will instead. That and their sister/inbed with/parent company EGSYS or how ever you spell it is filing bankrupcy and is hurting. A company with no programers on staff, that has to regularly higher out for guns, little or no personal prescence in the community, no assurances, and a track record that is not all that good. Mention of Daz Studio not being the end all etc and M3. Well, Daz has always listened to their customers, great track record with supporting their software, and clients, timely fixes. It has been stated BY Daz represenatives that Daz Studio inital base will be FREE, even after the beta, that the 'addon' functionality modules will be for purchase. With all the freebies that Daz has done in the past there is a track record there. I have more faith in Daz than I do in a company that charges me for a program and 1 month later drops the price, 3 months after that cuts the price in half and leaves me holding a program that I had to wait 6 months to even use half of the features. does Poser 5 work for me, sure, for the most part. I do not have Poser 4, so I can't go back, and have no track record. I have been waiting for a Lightwave plugin for Poser 5 since I bought Poser 5, it was stated on the box of poser 5 functionality of Poser4 Pro pack and that the plugins would be updated. I'm STILL waiting on a lightwave plugin from CL that works with Poser 5. while there are 3rd party companies that have a plugin available that works with poser 5, or are working on one, that is not the same. While all the SR releases for poser 5 have been free and have for the most part improved functionality and stability, I really don't hold my hopes that CL and Poser 6 will do anything at all, and with the past track record won't buy at all. They have a really hard and uphill PR campain to do if they want me to support them.
