My findings.

It is true that POSER is an excellent software that integrates many features.

However, it is also true that POSER lags behind its competitors in terms of individual features.

Even at my garment manufacturing site, POSER is not able to transfer all JCMs automatically and perfectly. With POSER's current complex JCMs, it is very difficult to create beautifully deforming garments. Therefore, it is easier to choose Clothe simulation. However, Clothes Room & Bullet Physics has also been in a state of limbo for many years. Currently, MARVELOUS DESIGNER in Korea is on the cutting edge, and POSER is not even close to being on its feet.

I don't expect it to go that far, but I would like to see it evolve to be more intuitive and usable by everyone.

They discontinued FaceRoom, I'm not saying it should become FaceShop, but if they claim to be a comprehensive software, please don't give up on creating facial shapes and textures even if you have an external modeler.

Animator has not improved its bugs and is being left behind by other companies.

Morphing brushes remain stagnant with no change in the number, type, or accuracy of brushes and no plug-ins to add brushes.

Superfly's rendering is a bit unrealistic. The colors are somewhat cartoonish, and the atmosphere is not clear, even when set with exposure and gamma.

The DAZ figure is covered in spawn, while the POSER figure is still slippery.

And so on.

I was around when POSER was acquired by a Japanese company (from POSER4 to POSER7).

I have been using POSER since POSER4 and have distributed many of my works for free on Japanese blogs (I also distributed two robot figures on Renderosity).

In Japan, there used to be many POSER communities, but now there is none.

Many POSER blogs have also become DAZ blogs.

This is the sad reality of POSER in Japan, which used to flourish so much.

POSER 11 was not a success, but at least up to 11, new features were added.

In 12, however, features have been removed, but no new features have been added.

Of course, figures are important.

We are waiting for beautiful figures that we want to use.

Now we are approaching a world where AI can generate and animate 3DCG from a few 2D images in real time with a single click.

nvidia's AI 3DCG program is also impressive.

Do a search for AI 3DCG.

I'm now hooked on AI programs. There is a whole new world opening up for all AI applications.

I currently have POSER 12.7.5.7, but the new PC I purchased in December does not have POSER installed.

I have not touched POSER for at least 6 months.

It does not have to be free. Please create a new POSER that will be exciting for everyone, users who have enjoyed and used POSER in the past, and will want to use it.

I want to be excited again too.

Please, please, please.
