The mere fact that you can do it all inside Carrara and you can't do true environments in Poser put's it a huge step up the performance ladder for me.
From what I've heard about C6 and C6 Pro, it even has better methods of loading conforming clothing and parented props with drag and drop capabilities. Imagine being able to just drag your Poser figures into C6 from the library in an outdoor scene you've created and animating the whole thing there! You can load Poses by drag and dropping them as well, which I assume includes animated Poses.
Just being able to animate inside the environment you've created is a big plus over having to animate and save as a PZ3. If you don't have to import to tweak your figures to work with the environments is just, well, WOW!
Yawn. :) interPoser Pro for Cinema 4D already has 'drag and drop' parenting, smart parenting, and conforming. You can apply poses, animated poses, MAT poses, MOR poses (and any combination) to live content similarly to Poser's library. You can pose, morph, animate, parent, conform, texture all right there as well. It includes master-slave dial support (even across figures), BVH import (to be improved for motion retargeting of generic bvh), and soon collision proxy creation (for dynamic hair and cloth) and full IK support. Now, I'm not e-frontier or DAZ each with their fifty+ degreed programmers and financial backing. What took so long? :P
Reminds me of Reiss Studios. It took them longer (with official contractual support from e-frontier) to write 'hosting' plugins for C4D than it did for me to write live content support.

Yawn to you maybe, but I've never owned a copy of C4D. Carrara on the other hand, I've had since Ray Dream Studio 5.5 was it's name and it was owned by Metacreations, so yeah, it's exicting that software I already have an upgrade route to will be getting all of this! :)
