As far as I understand (these were discussed ad nauseam before), since both the hair and the cloth room used licensed technology from other companies, those were not/ couldn't be updated. They'd need to be yanked out and completely rewritten. And then people would complain about things being broken from their old runtimes.

The first step was the base code rewrite for poser 13. Then they can start faffing with the rest of it. I just wish there was more ifnormati0on and what will be new/ different about P13. Some teaser renders (saw the ones the Hivewire team constantly posted about the new Dawn since they announced it what, m ore than a year ago?) Hells, any marketing would be nice besides a newsletter that only those who subscribe get and only in the vaguest possible terms. It's mid-March.
