Seems they have gotten to far into bed with the e-on people, as they should have had 2 x 64 bit versions, 1 high end and 1 low end but unlike e-on make both work nice.
The trouble is if they have copied e-on where 6 esprite is so totally inferior to 6 inf and extreme, as have esprite 5 and 6 and got chance to use inf and extreme.
Poser 7 renders great as it is but im doubious about the new version as i hope they have not been persuaded buy the vue people.
People with money will get some high end apps but they must remember 1 thing if you realese a program, always remember that most people cant afford high prices.
I render in cararra and some in vue but i find p6 and p7 can render nice and some simple sharpen and other auto options in art programs make p6 and p7 renders come out superb.
Their is no way ill ever buy an e-on product again after what they did with 6 esprite and will stick with p7 though funny thing is, i did a p6 and p7 renders with various options.
On my p4 2.6 then my amd 4200, then on me quad q6600 and found p6 render faster in single mode than p7, maybe my quad loves 6 more than 7 for speed.
