"E-frontier has made no specific announcments about adding any new functionality to posers aged 20th century core so we shall wait and see :-)." Ahh, but they have made an announcment. It can be found on the Curious Labs website under the December newsletter. It states the following: "Curious Labs and e frontier together plan to develop integration between Shade 7 and the future releases of Poser. This, as well as many of the plug-in projects in development will increase the power and functionality of Poser for the 3D artist." I know that Curious Labs stated, before e-frontier took over, that Poser 6 was going to be a complete rewrite.
