''but then again... we all should stop whining, because a poser with such features, totally inhouse built , would cost at least 3-4 times the money and programmer know how than it does now''

i couldn't agree with you more that all the poser versions we have seen thus far are  all built on the same code , and that is probably the core problem right there ,
but i ,and iam sure many other users here would  definitely be willing to fork out the  3-4 times the money for a quality program with a render engine on par with vray or mental ray .. hell i'll even take
maxwell as slow as it is . those apps may have a steep learning curve  , but the final result speaks for it self.

just my 2cents worth .. nobody shoot me please
