Eh.... I've been using Poser since version 4, BEFORE the update to 4.01...

No interest here in upgrading. Sorry, but for all the issues there is with 7 (don't EVEN get me started on things like the absolutely rediculously HUGE MEMORY HOLE), I'm not even going to CONSIDER 'upgrading' until I see some SERIOUS work done on the renderer, the gods-be-darned memory hole, the load times, the random firefly crashes, the random jack-up of my textures between objects in a scene, the random crash-to-desktops.... some actual DECENT lighting controls instead of this hair-pulling insanely frustrating system we currently have, a cloth room that actually does NOT make my computer choke, laugh at me, and then spit Poser out it's hind end and laugh some more at me....................

I could go on. But I won't. : )

Long story short? I'm sure as hell NOT shelling out $200, MUCH LESS $500!!!!....for a program like P7 'Pro' until I see some serious improvements on pretty much ALL aspects of the program. shrugs Not worth it to me. I've used Poser, I've used Daz Studio, and ALREADY, for all the issues I have with Studio, and all the headaches it causes me.. Studio will render scenes on my computer that Poser simply crashes on and is incapable of rendering due to 'memory issues.' For that reason, I find myself lately building my scene in Poser, saving the .pz3 and then just importing it to Studio for the sole purpose of lighting tweaks and rendering.

Poser 7 Pro? No thanks.
