     Well, I don't have anything which simultaneously uses every new feature, but I do have stuff which uses some new features in my freebies gallery. :P

     As soon as P8/PPro2010 was released, I made a light-casting Lightsabre, Miri's treehouse, TinkerBell's drive-in Cafe', and the first elven skiff.  For SSS, I have a jade mug and a candle.  Galadriel's mirror uses every material room dirty trick in the book.  Eldar house uses sequential JPEGs in the movie node (I think that was P9 SR3?) and matrices to animate materials.  Xanadu has more IDL light-casting than you could shake a stick at.  Ghostbusters used PPro2014's fitting room, matrix animated materials, sequential JPEG animation, gobs of IDL, and a refractive ghost.  Kugelbahn is hilarious when soft body physics is used on the marbles.  (Bullet physics gets blocked by the "concavity" bug).

     I enjoy making these proof-of-concept freebies, but the downside is that they only work fully in the Poser version (or later) for which they were made.

  I think so also.      My gallery is mostly just test renders/freebie promos.  It might not be a good measure of my level of interest.
