An other thread just gave me an idea !!

I guess that Poser 2014 Pro should be also in Possession of Bondware !? Bondware made a testing Feature of about 1 month on Poser 11 so that newcomers could test before they buy. So it might be a good thing to release Poser 2014 as Freeware as it is in any case going to end up as Dust Catcher somewhere on a Hard drive. This Idea would most-probably motivate new users to start off with Poser and they might want to Update to have the latest versions. You would keep alive at least the older version and you do not need to support it . It would be freeware People would be able to see a close op to what Poser 11 offers. No time limmit no forcing to buy !!

Ok you might now find some excuses that it is not possible ( would not even wonder ) but why letting a good application just die if it could bring in a good purpose! as for removing the 11.2 Call home I still insist that it would be a good and better move.

Would be interesting to hear what People think about this Idea ( It is not a Provocation )

I think this might well be a good idea but Rendo might think that a time limited trial of the new Poser 11.2 might be a better way to gain new users. What I am very sure of is that people would still complain, either free is unfair on the users have paid for Pose, that they did not like the changes when they upgraded or if they can give away free copies of 2014 Pro why not Game Dev are just a few of the complaints I would expect to see but am sure when people get into the forums they will think of many more.

 

 

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.
