I just finished rendering some scenes with 11 fully clothed hi res characters in a highly detailed setting and Poser Pro 2010 didn't mind at all. If I had to do this scene in Poser 4 I would have had to layer render like 2 characters at a time over a background image ( not an actual prop setting ).

The 'Pioneer' days forced one to be innovative, but I don't miss them that much. :P

We are spoiled now.

There are so many freebies being made by gracious modelers and so much help and advice in the forums now that it does tend to make one brain lazy - ha ha.

A lot has changed but it still is as much of a fantastic community as it ever has been.
