I haven't read all this, and I'm sure it's been pointed out already, but....
Poser 7 is 250  US dollars. Poser "Pro" is going to be, what - $399?
I think that about sums up the argument regarding "is it worth it?"

But everybody always figures they should get more than they do...

On a slightly related note, do any of you have any idea how many threads I've read from people throwing fits regarding Blender's interface? Blender is completely free, BTW, and highly capable. Just weird.

IMO, the question of "how much would you pay for..." is a moot point. I'd be willing to pay as much as they wanted, provided it actually delivered, and I felt I needed the features. If they wanted 3 grand for it, I'd pay it, but it better do everything they say it will, short of serve me breakfast in bed for that kind of money.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I feel I got what I expected with Poser 7. You can fee free to interpret that however you like...
