"With Poser 13, you can now set up your own start-up scene, complete with your favorite figures, props, and settings."

Can someone explain why this is listed as a new feature? We've had this ability for years. What's different about it?

This part puzzled me as well. Does Bondware really know Poser?

:))  It seems to be simple " Chinese marketing strategy " they also make loads of products that actually are the same, even upgrades the only thing they change is the Package and slightly change the naming of the product but the inner does not change, then they say it is all new. Sure it is as the packing has upgraded. Customers buy the same thing over and over again thinking they got something all new :) 

More has been removed in Poser then it has upgraded since Poser 11.1 with the excuse that it is not needed. So yes set up your own start-up scene is a part of Poser ever since , Unimesh is a Part of Poser ever since, just the names will change, some numbers will change and the Package will change.

I remember at RDNA in there forums when they proposed Unimesh simple skinning to be working in future Poser versions, so SM did add this feature in 2014  on a upgrade and expanded it in Poser 11 Pro  or lets say actually it was called GameDEV support at the time meaning that it is a simplified support importing and exporting rigged models from Poser via versa. The Word unimesh is just a change of meaning that actually was used for Figures that had Multiple gender features. But sure you can take ( Words and change the meaning  ) to your own preferences and sell it as NEW FEATURE. 

The only advantage of this strategy might be that end users realize that it exists due the Promoting and start using the already existent features. Disadvantage is they Pay for the renaming's.
