You forgot to mention one thought.... "it's obvious that poser pro is not geared towards me and I should have known better and spent my money on something else or buy the base version instead" You really missed that one.

But that counts for most of us and I really wonder who the poser development team had in mind when they started working on Poser Pro. Seems like they managed to release the less

I boughtPoser Pro Base and upgraded from Poser 6, great price for what you get. I got Poser 7 + some cool extra handy features (I needed) and stability for just a few dollars more then the Poser 7 upgrade costs. I'm happy with it and I don't have a need for the Pro version, Base suits me fine, I still don't get it why some who don't even use all the Pro extra's even upgraded to Pro at all, Base would have been enough.
