Makes you wonder why SM should even bother updating their software if vendors don't use the new features. I would buy hella lot more Poser content if they had Superfly mats. As it is, I already have loads of content, so why buy anything new if it doesn't offer anything new?

Which is exactly the point. Unlike with Studio the newest features aren't pushed or encouraged by SM in content. The best way to do that is to attempt to generate Poser content with the newest software and to then actually interact with those vendors creating the content to time with that release. Explain to them how it works, show them the best way to get results, explain that you want those items to include options for the new features.

I touched on that in my comment as well. Instead of SM talking with the vendors to get them up to speed on new features and get their input on the workflow, the vendors are pretty much getting the release the same time as regular customers, with little docs on how to properly set it up. So the vendors are struggling to use new features around making products for a living and ultimately getting blamed for something that was never properly explained to them. And I don't see how a lot of new features can be used if vendors are in the dark on how to use them, especially when they won't even be able to start on projects using those features until well after the product is officially released.
