Quote - I do believe that they have a version already that is 64 bit. Also , we must remember that Poser 4 was out for many years before Poser 5 came along and it was still extremely popular (meaning P4) when Poser 6 came along ;o)

I think someone else already mentioned that Poser is still a 32 bit application, only firefly (the rendering engine) has been updated to 64 bit.  Also, Poser did at that time fill a market niche that no other program really filled.

SM has abandoned that niche in favor of new and uncharted waters.  But hey, if folks are still using Poser years from now that's ok by  me, I've just realized that I'm rapidly outgrowing the program itself, and that Poser's development is not at all keeping pace with available technology in many key areas.

Hence what I feel is the need for an open source replacement.  But if you prefer to stick with Poser that's ok by me, I'm not making any money off this project one way or the other :)

-Never fear, RenderDog is near!  Oh wait, is that a chew toy?  Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
