Kind of an apple to orange  comparison isn't this? Sounds more like a poser bash that didn't quite work. You said P7 did render something that P6 couldn't. Sounds like an improvement to me.

Now we all know Carrara renders better. I don't know about anyone else but I don't have the time to try and pose something in Carrara. I will still use poser to put my scenes together then render in my C5Pro if I need to. My Vue6I poses figures much faster than Carrara.

I won't limit myself to just one tool.

That is my opinion and may not reflect the opinions of the popular few.
