I love Poser but there are some things it could do better, then again that could be said for any peice of software.  Point is there are a lot of the things that make Poser even easier to use and available if you are prepared to pay out a little.  I know some have the sentiment that Poser should do everything they want it to for the price they paid and thats that.  They are free to take that route, I just take a different route and have number of scripts or add ons like the Advanced Figure Manager and Advanced Library mManager by Semidieu.  Light and Render Dots and, my favorite, Camera Panel Plus from Netherworks.

I have no problem with taking this route as it allows people who do not need these features, or have a restricted budget, to buy Poser at a stunning price for a piece of software that does what it does.  At the same time it allows me have the same functionality and add a litte here and there.  Someone here suggested Poser was a the Fiat of the 3D world, I accept that and all I have done is customise it a little.

Some Poser users users complain, with justification, that something does not work, does not work as described or could be better and that I understand.  What I have more difficulty in understanding is those who do not use Poser but seem to spend a trendeous amount of time in a Poser forum. 

There are peices of software I have purchased that I felt was a waste of money and not used but I do not spend hours on the forum stating why I do not use it.  Still it take all sorts and they are free to continue but, for me, it seems time could be better spent using and learning the software that, in their eyes, is so much better than Poser. 

 

 

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.
