Hi Paul Kinnane,( Creator of poser physics) told  me recently that he is planing to update poser physics. So keep an eye out for that.  

Sweetness......! > Quote -  

I personally have decided that my Current Commercial Character animation project will be my last using poser.

as I have lost patience for coming up with brain challenging work arounds in poser to perform tasks so Easily achieved in C4D particularly in the area of  IK/FK and non linear motion mixing
It is time for me to get up to speed in My Character animation tool for Cinema 4D studio.

Cheers

 

 I know what you mean, having had a chance to play a bit in Messiah. I was planning to C4D myself, then they went with the new packaging, which put the version I'd need out of my immediate reach. But then pmg did their promo, so at least I have Messiah to learn.....
