I would have to go with the opposite on that comment, merchants are sort of holding the marketplace back by producing what is basically P4 stuff dressed up to look like P6 all that has been done is P5/P6 MAT files added - the basic product is still just using the functions available in PP/P4. From Poser 3 - to Poser 4 we saw really big advances in what was available but since then it seems to have just stagnated, sure there are some out there pushing the limits and I salute those folk. The forcing the market place argument doesn't work for me as what if Ford had of continued supporting the Model T? I suppose another point in this is one of my pet peeves - file sizes, how many times have you seen a DAZ download that is split into 2 or more parts and then when you install it you find it is full of rsr's, P4 compatable files etc?

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
