The difference between Poser 8 and Poser 9 (IMHO) comes down to these issues:

  1. Faster, faster, faster.

  2. MUCH improved previews, incl actual cast shadows.

  3. Sub-Surface Scattering for more realistic skin rendering

  4. Better handling of IDL, many of the artificats have been squashed.

  5. Availability of 64-bit version of both Poser and Firefly, which akllows Poser to use more than 2Gb of RAM.

  6. Weight mapping. You have to see it to really appreciate the difference it makes in posing. A weightmapped version of V4 is out now for free.

  7. If you go with Poser Pro 2012, MUCH improved Gamma Control support.
