Quote - Dale B,

Another reason I like working with Vue is that is has the ability to specifically control lighting influence for each light. You want just someone's face lit, and no other characters, you can add a point light, and set it's influence just for that character's face. With Poser, I must use multiple renders and compositing in post to get this level of precision. I will not ask Bagginsbill to breach confidentiality by commenting on this feature. But I will simply state that I will be examining P8's documentation carefully to see if this feature is enabled in the new program. If not, I confess I will be disappointed. No demands for a pony. No tantrums. Probably will still get 8 (I have 7 Pro now) but will simply know that Poser will still have to be used more as part of a compositing system, rather than a standalone program - which is what Vue is for me now.

I disagree, you can make a light in poser just point at a characters face and ther is amazing control over lights in poser, use point at and set depth on the light and the lights also have the whole material room for its usage, way more than Vue and yes I have both Vue and poser. And trying to pose characters in vue is a nusance these two programs were made to work together as a natureal part of work flow,
