The following is our recent update for those who have not been able to read other threads: Curious Labs is announcing today that we expect to ship the next version of our flagship product -- Poser 6-- in Spring of 2005. We have some very special promotions coming soon that should excite our most avid users and potential new buyers of Poser. More details will be sent out soon!

We will send updates first through out direct email news, then post to forums 24 hours later so if you want to be the first to know, sign up. I know many have specific questions.

Does anybody know anything about a realease of poser 6 version. To my surprise, i saw the product for sale on the PC connection magazine for a 199.95. It saids that poser 6 is capable of pretty much the same thing 5 is..But i went to curious labs, all excited to see the product and nothing...i also went to pc connection website and nothing there either... Does anybody knows anything...could this been a mistake of the magazine. The new box of poser has to silos of a man and a woman...and it says pretty clearly POSER 6 HELP!!!!..I'm all confused now ------------------------- this was my post on the forum...i guess...i got some answers...but how come pc connection is already selling the product?


Ghostofmacbeth ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 2:00 PM

It was a mistake from the magazine ... It accidently released the ad too early.



maxxxmodelz ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 2:02 PM

" HELP!!!!..I'm all confused now" Well, you just heard it from the proverbial "horses mouth" above. P6 will be released in Spring 2005.. It's not available yet.

@operaguy One of the all time highest excitement generating threads in this forum was called "California Dreaming." You might check it out... [grin & wink to the old timers]

Hi lluviaonix, We had some catalog erros recently and I apologize for causing some confusion - Poser 6 is expected to release in Spring 2005. But, we'll have some promotions in place soon and I will definitely let you know more details as they are finalized. We'll email to the CL News group, then post to the forums the next day with all updates moving forward. Again my apologies for the confusion! With kind regards, Katherine

I wonder if there will be an upgrade from P5, or maybe a discount for owners of P5 ??

Poser 6?? Good grief, I just got 5 (finally! :) and am just getting used to it... and I really like it... but will watch what this new version does... (then there is the problems of the costly new Vue 5 Infinite !!) But... no matter what version.. LONG LIVE POSER! :) and just FYI, Curious Labs... folks over there are already asking if Vue 5 I will be able to importe pz3's from Poser 6... ?

March 21 is the first day of spring, and my birthday. So the ad might not have been so far off.


Aeneas ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 4:09 PM

Go tell any mac user that his puter sucks because Apple has very intensive and also often very agressive advertising campaigns. Ahh...we'll see. And yesterday, that plugin to transpose qPoser files to C4D was announced. Works with Poser5. If I remember well, it should have been included. And in a few weeks, it'll be probably useless in Poser6. Life can be cruel.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)

lluviaonix ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 5:11 PM

It wasnt an advertising in PC connection which by the way is mac and PC...but mosttly mac, since they purchased mac warehouse a couple of years ago. The product was on sale on the magazine for 199.95, but curious labs already explained that it was a mistake on the catalog. PC connection is a catalog not a magazine. I'm glad we will have a new version of poser, but i'm dying to see what its capabilities are ...i mean new...and why the curious lab website doesnt say anything about it yet...If it was surprise PC connection ruinned it, at least for me. thank you


Tunesy ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 5:38 PM

...I don't know what their thought process is on it, but if I were in CL's shoes I might not wanna let the competition know my plans until the last minute. Who knows. Either way I'll buy it.

I officially announce that Winter has ENDED.... let spring commence, Now wheres my P6?????? Let's hope theres a Poser5 Upgrade.... ohh i can't wait... Im so excited i might pee myself...

Poser 6-- in Spring of 2005? How much? lol. I realy want to update from P4.


SamTherapy ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 5:56 PM

This should be interesting. More and varied ways to render NVIATWAS, or variants thereof. And I'll bet you any money thet the included models will still be "Horse's Ass" Judy and Don. And the P4 people. Not that I care, as long as the renderer is decent. IMO, P5 rocks. I sincerely hope P6 rocks harder. :)

Wonder what upgrade from P5 -> P6 will cost??? I JUST bouhtt P5 after putting it off forever - now I have to upgrade - just upgraded Cinema 4D, LightWave, and Vue 5 Professinal (just pre-ordered to Vue 5 Infinite. OK - so I'm a software junkie! Jim


XENOPHONZ ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 6:00 PM

I seem to recall that the word "NVIATWAS" is Swahili for "baboon-faced eater of python dung" -- or something like that. I really need to brush up on my Swahili.........

I'm saving up for P6. I've heard too many different stories about P5. Staying clear of that one. The P4 renders comeout kinda cheesy looking. Can't wait to see what P6 looks like. :)

wrpspeed ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 6:20 PM

As being one of the 1st to buy poser 5, I am extremely reluctant to jump on the bandwagon when poser 6 comes out. I will have to see if it has significant differences be- tween 5 and and 6 to make it worth it. Corrections to the firefly rendering engine would be worth it. Open GL would be a plus (though it would mean changing my video card). Objects/figures loading faster would be great. Anyway, I will wait and count to 30 (days) and see what materializes in the forum and I definately wont buy the presale. (g) I still have great hopes that they have made signifgicant improvements to it.


zippyozzy ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 6:27 PM

I hope it won't effect using V3 or M3? If so, then I'll just stick to P4 so I can use V3/M3. Just have to wait and I see. I never rush to buy anything. I wait and see what other users have to say before buying. I learned that the hardway lol.


Tashar59 ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 6:47 PM

I tried to sign up for the letter in Dec. Didn't work, I didn't get the $50 gift cert. CL won't answer my emails. After buying P4,P5 and Shade, you would think that would be enough to at least hear something from CL. CL seems to be the only addy on the whole net that doesn't return mail. OH, well, guess they lost a sale. No way I'll pay that price for a bug fix.


Ben_Dover ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 7:02 PM

So just to be safe, when is Poser 6.4 due out? I'll consider purchasing that one and just avoid the stress. :OP

...I have complaints about P5 too, but we shouldn't lose sight of the price point of Poser... a hundred fifty bucks or so for a first time user. That's dirt cheap for a 3d app. If P6 is buggy when it first comes out and it's still in that price range, no prob here. They'll patch it. I'll be bummed if CL ever sells to a business man whose plan is to raise the price to five hundred bucks knowing full well he'll lose a bunch of customers, but have fewer complaints to deal with on about the same revenues.


zippyozzy ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2005 at 8:22 PM · edited Tue, 01 February 2005 at 8:24 PM

a hundred fifty bucks or so for a first time user.

For P6? Kidding? I'll be there then! Even if I have to stand in line at the store. Two weeks worth of paychecks. For me anyway. Maybe one week if I can get overtime, when it comes out. I hope that will be about right come selling time. Right in my price range. If it's five hundred or more then that will leave me out until it goes on sale. lol. ;) Message edited on: 02/01/2005 20:24
