I have ProPack, 5, P6 and DS installed and guess what I use 95% of the time ? Good old ProPack.

When I create new characters I generally use several dozend magnets in combination with the default morphs.
Poser 5 and 6morph dials are loose, so to get exact values, you have to type in the numbers, whereas in P4/PP I just can just use my mouse.
No problem for spinning one or two dials, but not if you need to spin those dials several hundred times again and again during charcter creation.

I also do my own posing from scratch.
Again, P4/PP allows me to access the dials of a bodypart with one click, while in P5/6 you have to at least click twice to access the body dials, even a third time to morph a body part.

It already takes long enough to do character and pose work in PP, but P5/6s behaviour makes it useless for me.

Oh, the cloth room sure is great, but lets be honest, both the face and the hair room havent been used too often, have they ?

Show me a clone made entirely in the face room that really looks like the person its meant to represent, and show me a strand based hair that looks better or at least equal to Kozaburos old fashioned backwards compatible transmpped hairs.

Frankly, these arrogant "Poser6 is the next best thing than sliced bread and if you dont upgrade youre not part of the elite brotherhood of REAL Professional Poser users" comments are just lame.
At least the folks at CGSociety have the skills to back up their arrogance.

As for the oh so wonderfull material room, I still have to see that "ultra photorealistic render" that would convince me to invest my time learning those myriads of nodes.

What you good people forget is that the average Poser user just wants to make pretty pictures and not apply for a job at Pixxar.

Set the threshold too high, and he will just give up, delete Poser and NOT keep the Poser economy running by buying all your products.

"Im an Artist, not a Tech Geek, Jim." ^-^

Thats why D/S is so "primitive" compared to Poser 6, and thats why there is still "Poser Artist" around.
Because both DAZ and EF do not get carried away in "My software is better than your software" pissing contest like the fanboys here.
They even brought back the backwards P4 material room to Poser6.

Please and by all means support only the programs you WANT to support, and delete whatever obsolete program from your harddrive that you think could endanger your "Poser-fan #1" status.

But spare me the whining that youll mabe loose a sale or two, or how sad apple it makes you that not everybody is as enlightened as you are.
