Hello everyone,

It has been a while since I used poser. I use Poser 4 very intermittently, mainly for characters in Bryce 7 renders.

I saw Pro 2010 on amazon for 69.00 and was suprised at the low price.

Is there a reason it is so low?

It seems like this is an excellent deal, especially upgrading from Poser 4...!

Well, just looking for some feedback

Thanks!

Yep clearing out the old version disks

Great deal, and a huge upgrade compared to P4! If you have a 64bit OS, 2010 will be an even sweeter upgrade. It will also put you in line for the upgrade price to Pro 2012, which looks to have some real nice features (still saving up for it).

Thanks!. That is great info!

Plus it should get you the upgrade price to the next version of PP (hopefully not for a couple of years )

Be aware, you will be in for a steep relearning curve with is Pro version.  Everything you liearned in P4 will be undone instantly.  You will need time to search the forum for tips and tricks as well as getting your head wrapped around gamma correction, IDL, and working with less lights rather than more.  It is a good intermediate learning app in the series, but nothing compared the current release. 

Thanks! I am really looking forward to it, shavala

You could still do everything the way you are used to if you want, but you won't be taking advantage of as many improvements.  I actually think Poser would be far easier to learn now than it was then.  Things work more intuitively, so I still find myself doing stupid things out of habit which are no longer necessary.  I feel I am constantly un-learning old versions because Poser now works so much better in every area.  I can only begin to list the improvements over that time...  Firefly... morph brushes... area render... so many little things everywhere.

Well, I have received and installed Pro 2010. Everyone is 100% correct on the steep learning curve and options, tools and everything else to learn. I will be reading posts, going through the PDF manuals and getting to know this incredible program. any one who can afford the excellent price and is using older Poser software ( I use Poser 4), this is a great way to learn about lightning and render options. 

Yeah I just upgraded to 10 myself - and am finding that everything is lists as P7, P8, PP2012... Skipping right over PP10.

One can only "assume" (i HATE doing that) that if the article is for PP12, some semblance of it might pertain to PP10.

P.S... My copy was $55.00 from Amazon... but Smith Micro, refuses to accept my serial to allow me to update it... I can register it, but the update just refuses to happen (Invalid serial.)
