What hurts Dawn is she only works in Poser 9 or higher... not older Poser and not DAZ 3. Some long-term DAZ users have not upgraded to DAZ 4... for the same reasons folks from Poser 8 and older have not bought Poser 9 and up... it forces the user to have to change the 'ease of use' they came accustomed to.

 

 

I agree with everything you said but if this is the reason that folks have are not buying into the latest version of Poser, and I accept it may well be, I think it is a shame.  There is so much in the latest versions of Poser that is a real benefit and can be used without having to change from the ease of use.  I use V4WM and although I play with some of the materials there I find so many things that make life a lot easier and improvements for very little extra effort.

 

 

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.
