I am still having fun with Poser although I do like Vue for landscapes and the ablility to use Poser content with it.  I did however stick a Vue 8 Esprit as I found it expensive to keep having to buy the same modules over and over again.  I suppose it is a plus that you can buy a cut down version and add the modules you want but I really had problems buying the same modules again, particularly as there was no 'upgrade deal'.

The other issues I have is time, in that learning the materails and Ecosystem is difficult and trying to use the terrain modification tool is next to impossible with my hardware. 

I am not saying Poser is easy but as I am so far away from finding Posers limits I tend to concentrate my time on leaning that rather that Poser and Vue.  I guess it is different for those that are pushing against the bounderies of what Poser can do but for someone doing 3D as a hobby there seems to be limited ways to go at that point, assuming of course you have limited funds.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
