My main problem with Poser dynamic hair is the fact that it doesn't import into Vue 5 Infinite very well. I almost always render my scenes (large landscapes with lots of figures) in Vue 5 Infinite, the Poser render engine can't handle that type of scene.

I have done a couple of experiments with P6 dynamic hair, and the results are promising. As much as I like Kozaburo's transmapped hair, I can get more realism out of the hair room.

More intuitive control, and better wind force, that is what the Poser hair room really needs. It won't beat Sasquatch or Cinema4D, on the other hand, the complete app is cheaper than those high end plugins. I do not expect top of the line quality from a low-end application. Actually, Poser 6 delivers quite a lot of bang for relatively few bucks.

I sincerely hope that e-frontier will take enough time for Poser 7 to rewrite the core. I'd love to see multi CPU support, 64bit support, large memory support, and an improved boning system, along with improved dynamic cloth and hair.

I don't think I'm going to shell out the bucks for Cinema4D. I've seen fantastic renders from it, true, but I'm not interested in learning yet another 3D program. I'm fairly happy with my current toolset, in spite of their shortcomings.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
