Holy F******CK!! REALLY? STOP IT!! It's not people like me or Kalypso or Rena messing up this forum...it's the absolute hatred you seem to have for anything other than a Poser Mutual Admiration Society Glitterati3d. Dammit, I HATE to say it, but it's true. You start and the whole damn thread goes downhill from there. ADMINS PLEASE STOP THIS PLEASE!! The Poser forum has become a cesspool of spite and vitriol. I'm so sick of it. So sick. No one can learn anything, no one can post a lousy valid opinion. If the opinion isn't Glitterati3D's then we're all to just piss off?! It has to stop, it really does.

+100 I used to enjoy the community here, I've stayed away for a while, and this has only reinforced why I find this place distastefull. Honest valid opinions aren't welcome here. Laurie, Rena, Rawn, and Zevo have offered what seems to me to be some very valid responses, met with the unfortunate but usual vitriol all to common here.

I own every version of Poser since Poser 2. I  have always hoped Poser would be more than what it is. That is why I use Carrara, is it gives me more options/capabilities. Now, I find myself using DS and Carrara, and virtually never use Poser any more. It actually makes me a bit sad to say that, because I would like to be able to say I use Poser more. But, for me, Poser just does't offer what the others do (and over the past few years has actually cost me more to stay "current").

So, like others who have offered their honest opinion, and been bashed for it, I'll add mine. Integrating Cycles into Poser initially seemed like a great idea, until I read that GPU support would not be available. Unlike some have indicated, cycles is designed to give you the option of  using GPU or CPU (like Iray does). So, after a lot of thought, this shows me that maybe PP 2014 will be the last version of Poser I purchase. It makes me wonder if SM even has a clue what is going on in the 3D world around them. Maybe it is time for me to move on and not look back if I want to use "modern" technology.
