Quote - Some more reveiws from some REPUTABLE sources:
Smith Micro Software Poser 8 review from TechRadar UK's expert reviews of 3D modelling software
One of the reviews is actually the same as the one you had previously. The GameDev.net reviewer is biased, he depends on good poser sales to sell his own P8 book. The Digital Arts review and is interesting and imo could be called reputable and note their very interesting conclusion:
Quote -
- pros Lots of new content; new morphing tools; new interface/CMS; rendering and texture enhancements; Wardrobe Wizard.
- cons More expensive than competition; some new features are complex without tutorials; some application crashes.
So, even your reputable source confirms what's been stated all alone...... application crashes and they're a con.
Then there's the pricing issue..... Poser is too expensive. Found the mac issue review end remark quite striking (though Digital Art mentioned it also as a con):
Quote -
There's a sting in the tale for existing Poser owners, though. An upgrade to Poser 8, even for owners of the most recent release, costs $130 (£80) – more than half the cost of buying the package new.
So, reputable sources state that the improvements are good, but it crashes and is too expensive.
