Well, the one thing I'd like to see improve most of all is the lighting rigs. Put simply, Poser's lighting stinks. What i mean is, it needs a lot more control with the ability to add area lights or point lights (as was mentioned). While they're at it, real GI would be nice to have, since faking it with dome lights or probelights is just way too time consuming. "Dome lights" take forever and a day to render, and probelighting is just a pain sometimes. Other apps are getting fast GI calcs these days, and I'd like to see it brought to Poser (but that isnt' a PRIORITY). More efficient memory management, multiple undo's, and tighter compatibility with higher end software is a must have for me. I'm satisfied with the material room, although I'd like to see them expand their preset shader database, and spruce up the GUI a bit in there. Although it would be nice to have Oren-Nayar-Blinn and Metal shaders in addition to Phong and Blinn. Ok, ok... now I'm asking too much. They'd have to jack up the price significantly. LOL
