Quote - I agree with modus0, if Poser 7 is worth it, I will purchase it.  Has anyone noticed the system requirements, is it me are did they increase significantly for a PC?

I'm right up with SAMS3D - In terms of the System Requirements. 

The program itself looks like it would be well suited for high-end computers (considering that it needs 512/768 or higher of RAM usage and a 'DVD-ROM') - and with all the talk of another MS Windows platform 'Vista' needing the same requirements (again 1GigRAM and a DVD-ROM) ... kinda makes you wonder.  :ohmy:

From what I saw when they made the announcement, I wasn't impressed at first.  It seemed quite early in the game for them to start up another 3d program yet we're still in the Poser 6 mode.   It's been thread after thread about talks of P7 and now it's here -- wow, oh wow! ['scuse the sarcasm]

But then again, I too am not happy about them shrugging off Poser 6 users for a discount.  I, a Poser 6 user myself when it first shipped last year, and been a user of Poser 4 since '03.  Unfair to say the least, but that's life!

It's two sides from all of this -- On one hand I'm shocked and in awe -- since we're using version 6, now up comes 7 and we still have to pay for the upgrade; and on the other, It seems like it will be so much in this next application that I'm not amazed at all (hence the System Requirements), unless they have all the things that all the posters here are looking for (e.g.: better rigging) -- Don't you just love their 'secret' surprises?

All and all, I will wait until I see some improvements  that will make me want to get it, despite the cost...  I'll hold off next time.
