Well, anyway, I guess it's kind of a push, as I'm neither entirely satisfied nor dissatisfied with Poser 13. At least I've got some ability to make renders again with my new rig, but it was basically a +/-$150 update, seeing as nothing I even need it for can be done in Superfly without much extra effort.

It seems as if everything I want to try is just another series of workarounds and buggy plugins. I can still make incredible looking 4K renders with Firefly, and I can't really see where Superfly is such an incredible improvement anyway, at least not with the kinds of scenes I build.

*Side note: It's really unfortunate Daz3D and Poser have such a rivalry that certain D3D products are, for all intents and purposes, disabled for use in Poser, as content creators pretty much stopped designing incredible stuff for V4, and Genesis products are only available for use [in all practical applications] with Daz.

I'm going to give D3D a shot [which also is a steep learning curve - ugh!] Yes, I'm more comfortable in Poser and it would have been great to continue with this platform, but it's really way too much hassle for me with all the extra things I'm supposed to learn just to utilize it, which used to be great fun; it's now just increasingly complex to the point of near-total frustration.

Thanks to all who cared to chime in on this thread.
