Aye Kuroyume. Same here. For testing as well.

I really liked Painter3d which shipped with Pser4 but never worked past Windows 95 sadly. A great software title abandoned. Not sure if the problem was the company couldn't keep up, or it wasn't financially viable, or what the reasonaing was. Painter3d rocked. Never made sense why it was abandoned.

More concerning is the various Poser utilities and the void left if they someday are no longer compatible with OS or Poser itself.

One of the things I think that made P4 so popular was that it was very stable and trouble free. It felt well thought out and complete. Despite needing a few patches most people found it stable for all their needs for many years. But the lack of advanced features people have become accustomed to in Poser 5, 6, and 7 makes it dissapointing to go back except for testing.
