There is a positive thing, but it's kind of ironic cause I don't know it this is by another mistake: I bought Poser 11 standard version some years ago and now I have Pro after an update. Not sure if there is only Pro now, or why.

I didn't pay too much for the software and thats ok, but I paid quite some money for content on shopping sprees, so in the end this compensates for that.-- But whats more important is the time invested and abandoned projects.

And I dont get the neglect, like why some figures are so badly supported, Or why brand new "Paulines" where introduced just to be replaced by the "La Femme" concept a few weeks later. Or why Roxie has such technical issues, like unsuable eye shaders that are obviously wrong when you load the figure into the init scene. Or why there were so bad hair materials, and now the "Pauline" hairs have new, nice materials but you only discover that by chance. And when you install that content it gets installed into the user folder, not the factory folder. And like everything, it doesnt use any recognizable name scheme or folder structure. Each artist and each vendor has its own naming and folder scheme. Not even consistent with one artist. And there is hair in figures, hair, and props branches.

Its also a positive thing that obviously a lot of thinking went into keeping everything legacy compatible in the past. But its 2020, and sometimes you have to make a cut, and rethink that kind of concept. Do we need compatibility with every 1990ies software content? Or do we rather need a working software, and usable content? I dont know, I assume there actually are people who use this software professionally, but where are they and what do they say?
