I am barely a Poser user. I don't like it very much but if it does the job then I will not discard it from my harddrive.... On the otherhand I feel the Poser-verse has outgrown Poser, if there is an alternative, vive la alternative!

This test render is all done in Carrara6 after 1 day figuring out the dynamic hair and "poser-content" functionality. Rumors of its failed launch are greatly exagerated.

Poser wasn't used at any stage to create this image -- other than the vast legacy of Poser content that makes us so happy. All hail Poser!
