Or if you prefer, what version of poser do you use now.-.

Poser 4

My bet is that lots of people still use Poser 4. Like me for example :P

Sometimes I use Poser 4, sometimes 5. It depends on what I'm doing.

147,896 just a guess...I use 5

5...

95% Poser 4 Propack, 5% Poser 5.

Poser 4 and PSP7.

My P4 library got too choked - so difficult to use adn I couldn't use any folders in my Pose dir below the letter M unless I renamed them. Now I use P5 99% of the time. I love the multiple runtimes :-)

I'm using vanilla 4. The addition of python to the newer versions is tempting, but so far there's nothing I've wanted to do that I haven't been able to do in 4 - and the reports of system hogging and troubles from 5 don't make me think I'll be wanting to switch any time soon.

Honestly I'll probably wait until 6 (I should qualify, 6 when it becomes stable), to upgrade.

Then again I like Windows 2000 better than Windows XP, Age of Kings better than Age of Mythology, Warcraft II better than Warcraft III and so on, so I'm not exactly a slave to the latest and greatest - and therefore not really representative of the overall software purchasing public - there's got to be a really good reason for me to upgrade something that I already enjoy, I'm not buying new versions for the sake of buying new versions.

How's that for too much answer? :D

P5

OOOH OOOH OOOH! ME! ME!

thats me i use p4

Poser 4

Poser 4

Mostly Poser 4. I have Poser 5, but I haven't used it much.

Poser 4.2 (aka Poser Pro Pack) supported by PBooost. All those nodes in P5 frighten and confuse me.

Poser 4....Poser 5 locks up too much plus with P4 I can do other things while it renders...with P5, I have to shut down everything to use it if I'm going to use V3 or M3....and then still pray it won't lock up but it usually does. But I wish I could use P5 more successfully cause the folder situation is ridiculous in Poser 4. I have to have Windows Explorer open so I can count how far down the right pose folder is...LOL

4 Pro with no plans to upgrade yet. I can live without the dynamic hair and clothing in 5. The raytracing was about the only addition that interested me and I have been saving for a decent 3D app that I can import into and render.

Poser 4, Poser 4 Pro Pack, and Poser 5 on both Windows and MacOS to test my products. For general use, I use Poser 5. Aside: Has anyone installed Poser 5 SR4.1 yet and what were the results? :)

I use Poser4 haven't gotten Poser 5 yet not sure I could understand it lol

Hi ditto Sandy I use 4 might go for pro pack sometime when and If I can afford it Dave

pro pack here.. i have p5 but it takes me 100 times longer to do something and the material room makes my brain leak, so yup.. i'm a propack gal... (and PS7)

Poser 4 w/ProPack most of the time (when I want to actually accomplish something). Poser 5 when I have time to kill and want to punish myself.

Poser 5 because of the multiple runtimes. Much easier to keep things organised. :)

90% using just Poser 4, 10% using Poser 5

Pro Pack, for the Max plugin.

ProPack 99%. Only use the other to be sure a Python script will work for those poor unlucky folks who are stuck with nothing but 5 :)

Good old Poser 4, no Pro Pack, no plans to upgrade. I'll only quit using it when DAZ finally gets DAZ|Studio finished, and even that's only if it no longer has Bryce-like render times. ;) SnowS

P5 100%

I use poser 4 about 40% of the time and poser 5 the other 60%...a lot depends on what I am doing...for testing textures quick I like P4, but for renders & multiple library use I love p5...

P4 ProPack - bought after I bought P5 :-(

kuroyume0161, P5 Sr4.1 is the first and only SR that made P5 work fast enough for the product to be really usuable on my system - but by then I'd about lost interest. SR4.0 was the slowest of the entire set (of 12 if you count the original release as SR0).

I use Poser 4 almost exclusively, even though I have PP and P5 installed for testing. As the lowest common denominator, any vendor that doesn't develop his stuff in P4 is shooting himself in the hip. If you want to do P5 materials, do that afterward. I also own Poser 2, don't use it that much anymore, though. ;-)

poser 4 here

Pure Poser 4, never even upgraded to ProPack and definitely not P5! At this time, I have no plans to upgrade. P4 does what I want, and I can render in Vue if I need more detail. Melanie

Poser 4 - Metacreations version with at least one Curious Labs patch (there might be more but I have forgotten). I have moved it to an external hard drive because it was on a 4GB partition on my internal h/d which was not big enough. I had too many models installed to accommodate any more. I moved it by dragging and dropping the entire Poser folder without any problems at all. It can now grow to about 50GB before I shall need to think about getting a second bigger external drive that it can have all to itself.

I looked at Poser 5 when it was first brought out, but I don't think my system is powerful enough for it, especially my graphics card. So I stick with Poser 4 which works so well for me.

Poser 4 when ever I can run it under Mac OS9 - Poser5 when I use OSX. Poser5 Mac is just so bloody slow that it's a real pleasure to use Poser 4. Best; Dan

ProPack mainly but I use Poser 5 as well. Marque

Poser 4 and PSP7 here, too. No plans to upgrade, working with DAZ Studio. Wish they'd make some preset lights for the dang thing!

P5 all the way, Bayee!

P5 for everything, except renders which I do in Vue. I had to get P4 only so that I could test my freebies for use in P4. How many people are still using Windows 95? Or 98?

Poser pro pack, no plans to upgrade to poser 5. Windows XP.

I develop my garments in PPP and P4, rarely use P5. I am too lazy to really play with it, besides what PPP's renderer lacks I can usually postwork.

P4 here too (and without any Vickies or Mikes either).

Win 98 here, numanoid. It works fine for me. Melanie

Poser 4 ProPack on a WinXP.

P5 all the way. The shading and rendering in P4 is just too limited.

Until SP4, almost solely Pro Pack. Since SP4 (and SP4.1) I think I've opened Pro Pack twice. One of those was by mistake. I'll never go back, I love the Material room FAR too much now! And it's a stable as Pro Pack ever was (which means it DO crash occasionally but no more than Pro Pack did) WinXP Home. Would never go back from XP either. Win2KPro at work (but no Poser there), when I'm at work I miss my XP.

P 4 and Win98 - can't afford to upgrade..and not sure my poor skills would do any better with Poser 5

P5 always and every time. I only keep P4 and ProPack for testing purposes but I always about to run away screaming when I open those two versions. And don't get me started on DAZ Studio ... eeewwww

P5 all the time. Have not opend P4 for over a year.
