you are correct of course
most poser users want to mindlessly click load an render

Hence the exact reason why most content is in a temporal freeze around poser 7 technology.
How long has the morph brush been in poser?
and the MAT room along with a resident super expert
( bagginsbill) to hold peoples hands .

Poser has the technology built in to make the issue of character racial diversity moot

but oh well.

I have been playing with Poser for ten years now and have updated to each version of Poser as it has been released.  I built three computers in that time researching, slelecting each item for the build.  I am comfortable with that.

Ask me to turn a base figure into a figure that has distinct race characteristics, of any race, and I would not know where to begin.  I am not even sure I could manage Toon let alone anything real world.  I don't doubt Poser has the ability but I don't. 

I am retired and so do have some time on time hands and I still try an learn new skills yet I do not have enough years left, of the inate skills to master materials at the level BB can.  I also know from experience that what is easy for some is not neccessarily easy for others.  All of this leads me to the point of buying all of my content.  I may play with the materials, take a model into Silo and lop some bits off or change small bits here and there but they were all created by someone else.  I don't think I am alone and, considering the few hours I have free in a day, even though retired, I do not regard my self as lazy or thick nor do I recognise the description of "mindless click load and render".  I am however thankful that vendors are prepared to make stuff for me and I am happy to pay for it.  It may be cheque book art but it allows me to build scenes I could not imagine otherwise.

 

 

 

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.
