"You can take my Mac when you pry it from my cold dead hands."

There are plenty of programs that you can use with a Mac. Hell, Poser STARTED on a Mac. Some tools for creation are Windows only, and the only thing I've ever seen Poser release that wasn't fully Windows and PC compatible is the Kinect  attachment in Pro Game Dev and that's a Windows product.

So no you shouldn't need any extra tools or anything  from using Poser on a Mac. Unless you use DAZ products cause I'm pretty sure DAZ hates Mac users. Yeah, that's just my opinion, mind you, but it is based on my 15 years worth of experience buying stuff, or rather, not being able to buy certain stuff, from DAZ.

No, DAZ doesn't "hate" Mac users - to hate, they would actually have to think about them.  Mac users are just irrelevant to them.  I am still pissed about paying $158 for a copy of Cararra 6 that never did run under OSX, and DAZ never delivered the bug fix that they promised us.  That was when I started to pay attention to the company.

And what, it took Opti-tex two or three years to finally get a dynamic cloth plug-in that worked on a Mac for Studio. Yeah, I know, technically, that wasn't DAZ's fault, but they were the one's that were making the half-assed software that needed the Windows-only plug-in in the first place. And that wasn't the only one.
