Quote -  My own $.02 is that the differences in the way lighting is handled is a quantum leap. I also find the new render engine to be much faster than either the Poser 7 or Pro 64 versions. Amazing. Everything seems to operate more smoothly even with my extremely bloated set of runtimes. And at $129 it's a steal!

DR

How much faster is much faster? Everyone's saying it but no seems to be able to give some more details or numbers. Is it 5% faster? 10% perhaps? 25% maybe? Can we even hope for 50%? When someone says much faster I do expect at least 40-50% shorter rendering time when comparing to the previous version.

1-10% isn't mentionable, imo. 10-25% is a bit faster, 25-40% is faster and over 40% is much faster.

Who will take this challenge and give me some real numbers...... I've got to get as many reasons as possible to justify buying P8. If I don't have facts, but only vague terms like faster and much faster and improved, I'm not going to convince anyone that spending $129 is justified. For some it may be peanuts to spent, for me it's a considerable amount and it needs some hard facts to back up to the purchase.
