Today with all the competition in the software business, new releases are expected to have some major new features. This being said I hope E-Frontier has done their homework and plans to release some new innovations in Poser 7. At the very least IMO there should be a lot of improvements to simplify and make figure creation and animation simpler and more intuitive. Sounds like Poser 7 has a lot of new content, but little in the way of new in the application and GUI. I would be more interested in E-Frontier improving the GUI and simplifying things like the Material Room. I also am hoping Poser 7 has a new and innovative way to rig characters as well as new methods to easily import and create clothing. IMO Poser needs to totally overhaul the GUI and make parts of Poser simpler. I still don't have a clue how to use the material room or to change textures etc. I tried to learn this but was overwhelmed. I hope to tackle it again but it was difficult to understand the first time. Unless there's some new and exciting features I think I will pass on Poser 7. A lot of new content is not enough for me to upgrade.
