-A complete overhaul of the interface and its options, prefereably with complete adaptation to personal preference. -Absolutely necessary is a window/manager on which you get a list of everything you have used in your scene and you can reselect by clicking on the object, be it a prop, a character or a light or whatever. -A second window/manager that, when selecting any object as said above, displays the properties of that selected object and allows modifying them al. -Multiple undo and redo, of ALL things, even better: a history in which you can go back to the step you like. -A toolbar that has icons for all cameras, ik on or off (four buttons),... -rock-stability -support for Hyperthreading, multiple processors and dualcores -better joints support (soft bodies, hard bodies, collision detection) -tools for doing morphing inside poser as the magnet tool is far from acceptable -etcetc and last but not least: a complete recoding that makes the "pro" version something more than a maintainance upgrade with some added options. This said: it's by far the best in its price range and, unluckily perhaps, there is no real alternative that can match it. But, even with photomaps, it is not able to give real realism due to the horrendous joints. No billion-polied Vicky 9 can do something about that.

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