Particles 2.3 by Poseworks You really got to get this if you have P5 or P6. The only negative is PC Only, but there is word that a MAC Version is in the works for next year and Version 3. Wardrobe Wizard This is the product that allowed me to start using Apollo Max. Until then he was an oddity in my Runtime. Negatives are few on this program, except for the fact it takes you away from Rendering! Puppet Master The first version is good, but I am talking about the next version that has yet to be released. (Quadrapeds) Bipeds is great, but often other poses worked with other figures. This makes them work as good as the original did with the original figure, so there is a possible drawback! Quadrapeds is for all those animals... Pigs can and do Gallop! I can't wait for this one. Poser 6 This does not make the top three, but it does make the top 5 with IBL and Point Lights! P6 also announced that Poser was not dead. That alone should make it number 1, but I have come to believe that the Poser Community is full of diehards and we would still be arguing about the best and worse using P5, PP, or even P4 without the release of P6. I say this next one in all honesty. DAZ Studio. Why does D|S deserve mention? It will allow more users to start buying more products. I am really curious as to how many of the past Best Products see a resurgance in sales in the next few months. I know some will not benefit, but figures, props, etc... can and I believe will. Anything the increases the customer base for Poser Products is good for Poser. (I have a friend who got D|S recently and she is seriously considering getting P6.) Apollo Max? Well, I guess it deserves mention. It is a different figure, but a pricey support (clothes, textures, etc..) and pricey out of the box. If this one is the best, then Poser's Best has gotten too expensive. $50 was good for this figure, but even with all that is included, $100 is too high. I wonder how much cheaper it would have sold, if not sold through RDNA?
