I honestly think what youre asking for is a little over the top for a low-end graphics program like Poser. Jesus, I look at some of the things people are expecting from Poser 5 and it makes me laugh. If you want those things then go buy Maya or SoftImage -- but even high-end, hideously expensive software like that requires several plugins to achieve what you want. I would honestly be happy with a better lighting and rendering engine, plugin support and an SDK (so that we can start seeing 3rd party plugins for Poser hit the market) and multiple levels of undo. A bit better integration with Max and Lightwave would also be great -- I'd give both my legs (don't need em for CG anyway) if Poser could export to .max format, but I doubt thats very realistic either. If Poser is released anytime soon I think these are realistic expectations from a $200 program. Don't expect a model library on par with Vicky and Michael, and don't expect features that are only available in high-end professional 3D software suites.
