I accept that money is tight at the moment and many a hobbist is going to stick with the Poser version they have even if they want the extra features.  I also understand that vendors want to sell to the widest possible market however, taking this to extreme that would mean that those who are unable, unwilling or do not have the time to create their own characters and models would still be doing Poser 4 renders in Poser 9/2012.

That is why I fully support the Poser Place team, for not only allowing all the users of Poser9/2012 to take advantage of the new features, but also trying and help those that want to learn the new skills.

It will take the venders a while to catch up, after all it is only relatively recently that products have been marked for Poser 8 or later and there are already a couple of charaters that have the both non and SSS materials.  

I can however understand the impatience of some who want to see Poser progress and not be held back by older software.  I am all for backward compatability, where possible, but there has to be a limit to how far this can hold back progress (just my view mind).

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
