Well, except for creating weight mapping while rigging.  Poser 9 can read in weight mapped content that was done in PPro2012, but doesn't have tools to create it.  Note you can still rig old-style falloff-based figures (which includes conformers) in P9 just fine.

True - I didn't include that difference in my assessment. I was thinking only about rendering.

If you're going to make an original figure, conforming clothing, or an original full body morph, I don't think there is any choice really. You have to have Pro.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
