I like Carrara 6 Pro -- but suggestions / implications that Poser is on its way out need to be taken about as seriously as suggestions that the Windows OS is on its way out.  Such ideas are more like wishful thinking (for whatever reasons).

While such results are admittedly possible in the long-term (anything is possible in the long-term): I'd say that 'the end of Poser' is most definitely not the way to bet in the short term (meaning in the foreseeable future).

Saying -- or implying -- that Poser is obviously on its way out because half-a-dozen individuals post in the forum that they're still using P4 is a bit (semi-sarcastic understatement intended) of an illogical stretch.

I have Carrara 6 Pro -- and I recommend it.  But I'm not planning on dropping Poser anytime soon.  Most people in this game aren't.
