Your reading of Poser 11 is very close to mine and I too have not upgraded. I am also not very happy with the deactivation service and I notice that the promised Internet portal for activation still appears to be missing, probably in the pipeline along with the EULA for Pauline and Paul.

Yes I am being critical and some will say that is why Poser is dying because the users are ungrateful yet when they introduced Sub Surface Scattering it was very different. I still remember the renders that were being shown weeks before the release and BB going into depth on how it could be used. The thread at RDNA ran for page after page and most were far from critical. I for one could not wait to get my hands on the upgrade. Compare this with what was shown for Superfly, there really is no comparison, even now the number of Superfly renders do not exceed what was shown for SSS before launch.

The cost of the upgrade was higher than usual, despite the fact that Paul did not make it into initial launch. I am very much in a wait and see mode but there will need to be changes both to Pauling and Superfly before I am really tempted. Mind you I did not like Dawn when she was first launched but now the figure is very different from when launched so improvement is possible, but then Dawn never had a $200 price tag.

 

 

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.
