I certainly think that the new owners of Poser might like to know that many of the customers they are aiming this new product squarely at, after reviewing the promised new features, feel that the pricepoint they are asking is far too high for many of us to consider adding it to our arsinal, before they release this product, so that they may reconsider their options. I for one am really not interested in the upgrade option that they have suggested will be in place. An upgrade to a stripped down version which lacks the only features that I am interested in doesn't seem any upgrade at all to me. And buying an all new copy at $500, of a piece of software I already own certainly is of no interest to me. I as well as several others in this thread are in that group of users who also use a higher end 3d suite, so we are the group the "Pro" version is supposedly aimed at. if we who actually have integrated poser and it's content into our workflow are already saying Pass, than what is the chance that they will be able to intice the rest of the high end market which has traditionally looked down on Poser?
