The discussion about the Material Room (obviously!) got me thinking... You have to use the Material Room all the time, so it's not really a feature or 'option'. BUT: Some people use shaders creatively to do most of the work in a scene, including animation. Others just set colors and images. The former group is treating the Material Room as a feature.

It is rare for me to use the default materials on any content and so I either replace them with other commercially available materials or adapt them, sometimes I do both. I often spend more time playing with the materials than setting up the scene for the render. Whether or not it is a feature, option of something else is not really important to me but it is a big part of mey time spent playing in Poser.

 

 

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.
