I've used all the features listed in the original post, although I use the animation timeline only for setting up different "shots" on each keyframe, rather than for making an actual animated scene.

For setting up clothing (custom-made or converted), I use either the Fitting Room or the Setup Room, which I also use to set up rigged props.

For making morphs of clothing, figures, and props, I mainly use the Morph Brush but have also used Magnets, Bullet Physics, Wind Force, and the Cloth Room, as well as an external modeler (Cheetah3D for Mac).

For renders, I always use Firefly, for many reasons (performance, micro-displacement, compatibility with older content), but the main reason is that I prefer the way they look. I use IDL maybe half of the time, and I rarely use SSS unless something in the scene really needs it. (Most of my 4k final renders take fewer than 30 minutes, and I like it that way!)

I use the Depth Cue feature of Poser’s Atmosphere fairly often but rarely use Volume b/c it renders so slowly.

I'm unlikely to use the Hair Room for actual human figure hair, but I recently used it to create a winter coat for the HWHorse and can imagine using it for other furry or grassy purposes.

I've never used the Face Room because the figures I use (V4, M4, Nursoda's folks, Mavka, etc.) aren't supported. I’ve also never used Walk Designer or Talk Designer b/c I don’t do animations.

I spend the most time in the Material Room, mainly because nearly every item I load needs its materials fixed or updated, esp. the specular components. But I also like tweaking materials for different results, so sometimes I even do final renders from there rather than the Pose Room.

Here are the scripts I use on a near-daily basis: Netherworks’ Creator’s Toybox, Mat Writer Panel, and Dial Manager; EZSkin; Scene-Fixer 2016; and BB’s "Shift Nodes Home" wacro.

I use Poser every day, and for the most part I’m very pleased with everything I can do with it!
