If you goal is to make and sell items for poser, you are going to need at least poser 7...while you can rig a figure, the old poser pro cannot create the mat files and material groups that are expected in a commercial product today.

You could rig a figure and try to sell it as DS only, but when you consider DS users are using free software, many of then shy away from buying anything at all, and many only buy very few items.

Even if that's only 40% of the ds market, you are looseing a HUGE installed base of poser users in that case.

I wouldn't even look twice at something that didn't support poser materials with at least P5 in mind.

If you are just creating as freebies or for yourself, it's a non issue, but if you are creating for current users, the userbase for Poser pro is only like 5% of the entire market, based on polls done a few months ago.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
