Reading through this thread I feel like I am the hated bastard step-child because I love both parents. That's okay, I visit just as much with my other surrogate parent as well.

I still love you all, and respect your opinions, likes, dislikes, wants, and wishes...

So, after reading several different threads, and at different sites, I came to the conclusion to take my winnings from poker and invest in Rendo's future development of Poser -- Even though I am happy with the cc tools in PP2014, and without PP11 having had added the cloth creation module I desire, I purchased Poser Pro 11.

I learned two things yesterday:

1. There are some who believe all that would have purchased PP11 out there already have, which I believe is erroneous just for the fact I am always a version behind and wait for a great sale to purchase (PP11 is at that price point I am willing to spend right now, but I have passed it up for cheaper in the past). Normally, for me, it would be a purchase probably two years into everyone already owing PP12.

2. It seems that somewhere people have been conversing with Jenn from Rendo, and an official statement has been made that Poser and Poser Pro has been/will be merged together, and there will only be one price for one program going forward -- all the tools of the pro version with the standard version price tag. I like this, but there goes my arguments for pro tools to be added to a pro version for content creators -- now everyone will be able to play with whatever they come up with.

At this time (today), I can confirm that the sale from SM is still in transit with regards to our data/serials -- The upgrade confirmation sent me to the SM site where my SN's are currently stored. I assume they will all be transferred here, but have no idea when that shall be. I believe we will all have our data stored here at least by the time we need to upgrade to Poser 12.

One last thing, I have a crazy idea for a feature suggestion. Let me know what you think, whether you hate it, hate me for even thinking it, like it, love it, think it's a good idea, bad idea, or I am just bat-s**t nuts...

After reviewing the promo images for Poser Pro 11, I noticed two of the images are paint-over renders. My idea is for adding painting ability inside of Poser, so for those who like to do those sort of finals can work from start to finish. The idea crossed my mind, because this is available inside of Blender, and I mean this as a feature for Poser only users who would desire it. I believe there are some things already inside Poser which could help adapt this already.

Also, this is based on what I have read where some are suggesting what Poser needs is some new functions to help grow, or bring back users -- just a measly suggestion -- What do you think?
