What's all this talk of Poser 8? Did I sleep through Poser 7? Did I miss a press release?
You mean you didn't know? P7's been out for over six months now.
More than one version is the answer, as suggested earlier in the thread. eF is already doing that, with three versions of Shade, from $50 to $1,000.
That's true to a point. But then you'll inevitably have Poser-envy sufferers -- "Hey, how come I can't do that? How come V4 doesn't look as good in my P7 standard as she does in that $1200 P7 Ultimate package.........? It's not fair!!!!!!"
Also, as we've discussed content issues vis-a-vis items designed to be compatible with P4 being used in P5/6 -- so also there might be issues over Poser content created for the "advanced" versions not being compatible with lower-end versions. Likewise, content created for the lower-end versions might not take full advantage of the higher-end functionality.
shrug Different versions might work.......but it would alter the way that the Poser market works right now. Not that this result would necessarily be a bad thing...........
