"Dude - they have like three engineers to build the whole thing including UI, not just the rendering engine, and these guys don't make $200K+ like I do. If you want a great renderer, PAY for it."

Bill, yeah, that sucks, but the customers don't care.

Studio 4 PRO is almost as good as PP 2012 (and in some aspects even better) and new user won't shell out $500 for a new PP 2013/14 if they can have the same for free and better figures on top of that.

People paid for Poser because it could do a lot more things than Studio, so it was the only game in town to create content.

Not anymore.

I'd really like to see Poser survive, but they really have to bring their A-Game this time.
