Sadly, this is exactly what's wrong with Poser. Instead of fixing truly brain-dead problems, like failures of the interface or memory leaks, they keep adding more goodies. As a marketing strategy, it works. I hate to give up the one or two improvements I use, just because the rest the program is dreck. And when they come up with "8 new goodies" for P8, a lot of us will forgive the crud, or tell ourselves -- for at least the fourth time -- that this time they'll fix this and that, too. And hey, we really, really NEED background displacement!!!

Meantime, Poser rattles along, a disintregating Edsel with a newly polished and detailed Porsche body.
