Ummm, one point pjz; a 64 bit render engine -can- increase your rendering speed, due to the fact that by having more physical memory, you don't have to hit the swap file nearly as hard. And as of current hardware, disk access is still the massively major bottleneck. As to the list of features..... No, what is there doesn't look that impressive. But keep in mind how things seem to be developed in Poser nowadays. Ever since they added the Firefly renderer in P5, they haven't been 'adding' things so much as enabling what already existed in the engine they'd liscenced. The animation layers apparently were in P6, but not enabled until P7. Look at the source engine. Does it have GI? (yes). So for some reason they haven't enabled it (off the cuff guess, not enough memory in a 32 bit app free for the calculations). eF has been very cagey about talking about '64 bit rendering' without giving -any- specifications beyond that. Either there is nothing, or their is something(s) that they aren't quite ready to out yet. We've been pushing for animation and rigging improvements since P4, and for the last two versions they have been dropping that question about weight mapping into their surveys. This might be the test bed; different app, different general clientele, and the legacy content is only available as download, not included. No mention of Quidam, so there are apparently 'features' that are =not= on that list. Looks as if all that list does is offer a comparison of P7 with the basePro and fullPro release. And there aren't a lot of technical details (like how invasive is the network rendering. If I can run a Poser network render at the same time I run a Vue network render, that amounts to a massive increase in pipeline speed... I wouldn't shift to Poser as a main renderer, but for things like closeups in enclosed environments, it could be very useful...). Since they have pushed back the release, either they have had beta troubles, or the integration of new tech has taken longer than expected. I'll wait and see before chucking the baby with the bath water....
