I must have been one of the first to read your post as the link was still there when I looked.  I had an email for SM earlier about the Dawn figure as well.

I think SM's justification for the Fitting Room when Poser 2014 was launched made it very clear that Poser was leaving figures mainly to others, which is as  it has always been.  Their apparent endorsement of Dawn is an interesting development though.

 

 

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.
