The surprising thing is that so many people are giving reasons why the Poser base is shrinking and how SM had better wake up and smell the roses when the quote that started it all states that the Poser AND DS user base is shrinking.

Of course this could just be a way of a company saying we are not making the profits we used to selling the same on stuff but, if not, it suggests the market is changing.  If it is I suspect that is slightly wider than software X is doomed if it doesn't include Y and Z in the next release.

 

 

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.
