Pulling the thead back before someone Godwin's it, this is pretty much another of the 'It's a Modeller! Poser is Dead!' masturbatory round robins that pop up. Poser's renderer may be 'slow'....but when you start pushing all the floats around that shadows, hires textures, ambient or GI, and any of the AA schemes creates, you can bring -any- renderer to its knees. I hope the C-heads enjoy the new release; it still has the same spastic dsylexic monkey designed interface. If the render nodes for P7Pro peform like I think they will, there may be a serious re-evaluation of the Poser REYES render engine as a useable option. From my work with Vue, it's remote Rendercows bury the application in render speed; they don't have the GUI handles to work around, or the library access code or the undo system. Just a minimal port display GUI, and the render engine with a TCP/IP interface. If P7Pro uses a similar scheme (and considering their relationship with eon, and the modularity of that scheme), animators could see maybe a doubling of renderspeed on a remote node. And look at the way they implemented the usage of multiple cores; tile rendering. Which means that you could easily alter that to use remote nodes for tile rendering, as well (as in having 3 or 4 computers chewing on a still instead of one). We shall see......
