"This thread is pretty much as I expected. The users who say P6 works for them are not being helpful to those who are saying it doesn't work for them. What I would like to see are detailed examples of the hardware, software and OS on the machines where P6 works, in order to help these guys ferret out the problems specific to their machines."<<< Agreed :-) First generation E-mac 700 MHZ Mac OS 10.3.9 256 megs of ram!!! Poser6 no problem (obviously a little slow at times with my HW config) just installed carrara pro4 to render poser files running rock solid also. Look, you all know Im biggest OSX evangelist on renderosity :-) BUT quite frankly "Tiger" broke poser . broke it worse for some than for others apparently My advice : if you are a regular poser user needing to work and render with poser6 ,..DONT upgrade to tiger!!!! if you are buying a new MAC, order it from apple with 10.3 installed NOT tiger. additional ,while i agree it does not help to just chime in with: "no problems here dude!!!" it is equally pointless to post a general tirade about the very existence of OSX itself or how one feels about some OSX "loyalists" defending apple. it almost 2006 citizens OS9 is truly Dead!!!! and OSX panther,tiger siamese kitten,bobcat whatever!!! is what mac users will have to use. now you Do have alternatives. you do have the option of switching to "wenduz" (honestly not a bad choice these days except for the increase virus risks) or Living, like a friend of mine, who still clings patheticly to MAC OS8.6 running poser4 . existing in an anachronistic wasteland of unsupported software/hardware from the 1990's while the modern world of 3D/CG passes him buy. Me??.... I prefer to live in the present.
