The nested morphs and broken dials make Poser 5 and 6 unuseable for any serious character creation.
The "improvements" in Poser 6 break figures that work perfectly well in Poser 4, PP and Poser 5.
Firefly is one of the worst render engines out there, and except for maybe a dozend or two test renders I did I never use it.
Sorry, I have better things to do than learning to set up a gazillion of nodes or run fancy python scripts each time I render when I can have photorealistic tetxure maps with just one click on a MAT-Pose.
Procedural materials are good for games, but for still renders nothing can beat the dense information provided by a photography of the real item.
I don´t have the need for 100% photorealism anyway (Ever heard of uncanny valley ?), but IF I had, I´d make sure to get the right tools to achive that goal, and Firefly sure won´t be among them.
If Poser 7 or any of the following issues adresses these problems, great, but otherwise Poser 4 (with ProPack) will stay on my computer.
