I'm afraid I'm one of the die-hard Poser 4 users. I never bought P5 and never plan to.

CL made one drastic mistake in that they never had a public beta for it. It appears they hand-picked a small group of privileged people to test it, so there wasn't enough input on where the quirks and bugs were. It seemed elitist to me.

I move much of my rendering to Vue, so the render engine isn't that important to me.

I agree with FyreSpiryt that CL didn't pay much attention to what their public was saying.

Also, one of their biggest problems was that they released it long before it was finished. It was still beta quality, yet people had to pay full price for it. I just didn't want the frustration that I saw so many having with it.

If there is a P6, I hope they give it the reliability and stability of P4. For me, all the bells and whistles P5 offered weren't worth the frustration. I'm still seeing threads in the forum asking for help with those things. Not to mention that there shouldn't have to be dozens of service releases to fix the problems that should have been fixed before it hit the market in the first place.
