Quote - pardon my input , but to me the poser pro was meant to integrate Poser into a professional pipeline, and not to be a pro application itself. The 64 bit render seems an odd thing if you are pushing integration with max, maya etc which already have the render features.

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering about too!
Once you have Max, Vue and Cararra and similar, what do you need Poser Pro for?  Gamma correction and background rendering and 64 bit is all fine and dandy for P7 users whom don't have anything else. Content integration isn't any better then Body studio was (and Collada does a better job at it)

However, that's not the audience PP seems to be trying to target. They claim they are trying to target whom are into mid to high end 3D (like me), and they are missing the mark. They haven't put anything in the product that would get people like me interested in it. I'm not Anti-Poser Pro indiscriminantly and in general (as Tashar and couple of others are trying to claim), I would have been very interested in it, if it had features that would come in handy to users like me.
 
PP is hitting audiences wanting P8. What's gonna happen when P8 comes out with all theese users whom got PP instead of P8?  A split in the poser user base instead of bringing new caliber of users into the fold?

Yeah, I hear you guys whom were using P6 and P7, how PP is a step up. Sure it is, I'm glad it is. However, you aren't what they say they were aiming for with this product.
