Quote - You want Mercedes or BMW renderer? They exist - go buy them. You will pay $8995.

Some of us want Maya for $130. We're not going to get it.

I would pay $500 extra to get the "optional modo render engine for Poser".
But, I realize that marketing decisions must be based on how many would pony up for a better render engine.

I'll get Poser 8 for my 32bit machines, and -when it's released- Poser Pro 2 for my 64bit machines.

Given how much time I've spent trying to get a reasonable balance between light and shadow before, the GI upgrade of Poser 8 is worthwhile to me.  Also, I found the multithread system of dividing the window into quadrants exasperating, so the new system of handing out buckets as cores become available is a considerable improvement.

I always seem to be constricted in building complex scenes, so I would like for Poser (Pro, at least) to move toward full 64bit  - the executable, as well as the render engine.  I find that I tend to do setup on my 32bit boxes, and then transfer the pz3 to a 64bit box in order to be able to render it.

Poser 12, in feet.
