Seriously, this needs to stop.

The updates I suggested are already available in competing programs.

Poser is badly outdated by modern standards. If it is going to have any chance of surviving, it needs to have the ability to compete against those other programs.

Adding the features that are now considered a universal standard is not a radical idea.

As for Poser becoming "more expensive" - some of those competing programs are being given away for free, because the companies that released them are generating their money through them by other means. DAZ sells models for DAZ Studio, Source FilmMaker is essentially an add-on to Steam's gaming platform. I would suggest that Poser should follow that model, and also be provided to users for free, with the understanding that by providing Poser as a free platform, there will be more of a market for add-on content through Renderosity's sales area.

There is also blender, which again, is free.
