Quote - I too was wondering why 2 different versions.  Consider that PP2010 and PP2012 have different features and different Python Script iterations.  You can't do weightmapping, SSS on PP2010, and compiled python script from PP2010 will not run properly in PP2012.  With these dissimilarities, you will run into problems mixing content with incompatible features.

 

A lot of people do not use or need these features at all, so they will have no problems at all. I can totally understand why someone would want to run 2 versions at the same time, be it for different reasons. I run 3 versions at the same time at times, P6, PP2010 & PP2012, for testing content purposes though.

Also, I've never used weightmapping in Poser at all and I have no need to use SSS at either, so I do not buy content using it. Besides a lot of the content that used SSS also gives you a version that doesn't use SSS with it, otherwise the vendor would loose out sales. All the scripts I do use have a 2010 & 2012 version. So, I can run PP2010 and 2012 at the same time whenever I want. If I want realistic renders, I switch to Vue and import my poser content there and have a way more realistic rendering engine then poser and all of it's gimmicks can offer me.

People make way to many assumptions at these forums thinking everyone use poser the same way and uses all the features it offers. You cannot just assume everyone uses poser the same way you do, poser has many uses.
