New Coke or Poser -- a company is running a big risk if they change their product too radically, too quickly. The principle is all one for any type of product -- from shoes to automobiles. Doing so might pay off (and occasionally does) -- but it's still a huge gamble.
With the inherent volatility of the Poser user base -- at least the user base that typically inhabits the forums -- IMO it would be very unwise to change the interface, top-to-bottom, in one version of the software.
Quote - Poser's interface is clunky to the point of madness when you delve into advanced features, such as rigging.
I agree with you there. Unfortunately, I could say the same about a number of programs that I use. Not all of them 3D programs.
But Poser makes certain advanced tasks much more difficult than those tasks have to be. While other tasks aren't handled well, and rarely get used. Such as the Face Room.
Quote - One selling point for Poser Pro would be if the 64 bit version didn't have that annoying lag every time you attempt to turn a dial or move an element of the configuration.
We agree.
