Quote - > Quote - So I guess my question is - what is the advantage of using Poser Fusion / Pro 7?

None other than the render engine of the "host" application
you would have to go back to poser for any tweaks to a figures pose
and the hosted figure will be ignored by any native dynamics or hair
options  of the high end host app.
he is there for render only.

with IPP you can repose change clothing/hair
apply Mat poses apply still &animated poses
apply Mimic speech animation
Apply morphs animate the figure within cinema's timeline
use cinemas SUPERIOR CLOTH  ENGINE
have more than one scene file open at a time& copy and paste between them
batch render etc etc

If you need better render options such a real GI and such
and dont Own C4D or MAX
just spend $89 on vue 6.5 easel
even vue easel allows you to repose a figure after import.

As I said I see ZERO reason for any C4D user to buy a recylced
32 bit PEE CEE only bodystudio plugin
