Quote - ...You can also, if you want, turn the person back into a figure easily in the setup room. just load the figure again and allow for autogrouping...

Autogrouping has majorly improved in the last few releases, but internal things like the eyes and tongue usually never group right with the auto group. The hands/fingers can get torn to pieces as well. This makes animating the autogrouped character next to impossible if the grouping tears the mesh when you pose it. I do almost all of my grouping in Blender, working with Poser stuff in Blender has improved as well.

I have yet to find an easy solution for transfering the morphs from the original character to a subdivided or modified mesh.

.................

Now that we have some more Python commands to work with, addons can be made that only use Python as the gateway to and from Poser, and the addon can be an executable. Doing it that way will make anything you do worlds faster than using Python alone.

I am sure that we will see more than a few addons that use Python strictly as the gateway, and a executable capable of using the cpu/gpu for the rest of it.

Anything done to a wireframe will be far faster when done on the gpu on the average Poser users system. With Pixars release of much of the source code to do that, things could get very interesting in terms of what Poser can do with addons.

I am not sure what other programming languages Snarly uses. If he uses C++ or Fortran, things could get very interesting indeed.

If anyone is interested in newest ideas for C++ or Fortran, search "Many Integrated Core Architecture" on Intels site. None of it applies to desktop computers, so tread lightly there. Most of that is for very high end systems, that we cannot buy yet.... (Knights Corner stuff that has not been released, etc) But is is good reading if you are interested in what is coming next in terms of raw processing power.
