Attached Link: Poser Debut compared to other versions of Poser
Hey Jen,There are only the most basic levels of material editing in Debut as were found in Poser 4.
The intent of Debut is bring new users into the world of Poser, get them comfortable with the tools, and play, rather than have them dive in to heavy editing. Debut will handle advanced content, and render it, but editability is limited. Those that want more control will be encouraged to move into more powerful versions of Poser.
Debut is a very, very simplified version or Poser - akin to Poser 4 levels with the new UI system. Poser Debut does not include dynamic cloth or hair, the face room, talk designer, only simple controls for rendering and material editing, no rigging tools or figure set-up capability. We spent a lot of time trying to pick features that would convey the basic experience of Poser, without eroding the vlaue of Poser 8 or Poser Pro 2010.
The full feature matrix linked above does a decent job of showing the differences between versions.
Debut will likely be on the shelves at Best Buy, and other traditional retailers with an agressive price designed to entice new users that have never tried or perhaps even heard of Poser. My hope is that if we find success here, we can bring in new customers for the content market that haven't already invested in Poser content - helping the aftermarket content ecosystem grow.

Quote - I hope so!
Starlet, I was looking at the features list comparison, and I was wondering, will there be a way that the end user will be able to change the materials at all? Something more like the non-advanced material room or the old Poser 4 version?
