"Let's band together and expect something better instead of defending what is inferior, yes?"

I completely agree that given what is possible today, Poser is way behind the curve.

We have 100% photorealism in feature films and real-time "almost" photorealism in games.

Still even with hour long render times in 99.9% the vast majority of Poserrenders are immediately reckognizeable as exactly that: Poser renders.

While skin shaders and lightning are "fairly" good by now, we need much better figures, much better clothing and much better hair.

And a render engine making use of modern GPUs so that we can have 100% photrealism in minutes and "OK" quality in seconds.

But most Poser users only want to play virtual "dress up dolly" anyway, so most improvements are actually wasted on them.

So in the end Poser X will be like the last couple of versions with a few "new features", some useful, some not, but a general feeling of "too little, too late", at least for me.
