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.

I really just upgraded to Poser 12 for speed. Which is actually the sum of a lot of different features. It's just faster, but also adaptive sampling, and optix. I consider those features.

But I was surprised to find just how great PrincipledBSDF is. That made Cycles really accessible, and is very easy to build on. New feature that I never would have upgraded for, and now I use it all the time.

Post effects and the Intel denoise feature have been pretty useful for me too. New feature.

Replacing all instances of a image map across all materials is a pretty helpful new feature. I have not really made any use of the new drag-and-drop functionality there though.

Those are the ones that matter to my workflow. There is still a lot of functionality I have not been able to dedicate the time to learn yet (including old functionality, e.g. fitting room).
