Poser 11.1 came out just before Christmas, and like most stuff released in those frenetic weeks it was probably easy to overlook.

But 11.1 was animation tweaks and a new v2 Paul/Pauline. So if you never use those, then the 11.1 wasn't very remarkable for you. It wasn't for me. Nice to have it, maybe it makes Poser 11 even more stable. But it's not earth-shaking, like suddenly having multi-pass rendering that works with different render types (Sketch/Preview/Firefly) and which can then be automated and output to a layered .PSD.

Personally, in terms of 'new' characters... if it's not about the old standards of V4/M4 et al, or a few of the fantasy/sci-fi standalones from the likes of Nursoda or Darkseal, then I'm not very interested. I'll take a look at a new character, but I don't want to get sucked into yet another set of expensive dependencies - "must own X and Y in order to use Z". That's not the case with Paul/Pauline, who are of course free. But one generic human looks much the same as any other to me, and I don't see the need to haul out and learn to use Paul/Pauline when I'm much more familiar with V4/M4.
