I love working with Poser 13 and I now have Poser 13.2 which is very different from the versions of Poser I have used in the past.  About 5 years ago I had a windfall and used some of the cash to build my ideal Poser machine but even with that renders could take three to fours hours to complete.  These days few of my renders go as far as an hour and that is using a mini-PC that cost a tenth of the price of my bespoke unit.  Not only that but the quality of the renders out strips any of the renders I was doing on my expensive custom built machine.

To my mind Bondware have done a remarkable job of improving what SM left them and I shudder to think what Poser would look like now if SM had remained in charge.  I can't wait to see what this new team can come up with when they have the freedom of delving a lot deeper to build a new version of Poser rather than an update.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
