I still have P4 installed, and I still make P4 compatible content if I can - including properly made .BUM files (not the rubbish that results from letting P4 convert a JPEG). Bear in mind that as a freebie maker, I'm under even less obligation to do work that I don't have to do; I just want my stuff to be as useful as it can be. However I have dropped support for Poser 3. :) Sure, the later versions are better, although not always in proportion to their version numbers... That said, I don't see the point in scoffing at someone because they use the tools that get the job done for them. As the old L.L. Bean quote said, "Nobody ever won an argument with a customer."

Quote - MAT poses still work in Poser 6 and later, and I don't expect that the Poser development team will drop that functionality anytime soon - it would mean restricting the kinds of things that a pose file can do.

Not always true - I've had trouble with some partial MAT poses not working in Poser 6. The readme has this to say: > Quote - Please consult page 88 of the Reference Manual on how to convert MAT poses to Material Collections. Curious Labs does support MAT files included in your Poser 6 installation only.

Don't bother going to page 88, it's actually on page 90, but that's by-the-by. :D > Quote - Third-party Poser users invented MAT files, which are an advanced feature that has not been created or tested by Curious Labs.

Oooh. Hark at them.
