I've decided to pretend that Poser 12 and 13 don't exist, just like Ghostbusters 3 or the final trilogy of SW.

It almost feels like Poser has gone woke, completely ignoring its original audience.

And thus, turned completely insignificant now.

Like Hollywood.

;-)

Anyway, Poser 11 still serves me well.

Guess I prefer waxy Firefly skin over a render engine that can't even do displacement properly.

And if you don't like to fix grainyness with a blur filter, isn't even that fast at all.

(That's the original DAZ GIRL with V3UV mapping, btw)

I also enjoy the immediate What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get functionality of the morphbrush.

So far Poser's habit to cut a mesh into separate actors and weld it back together has never prevented me from doing with my figures exactly what I wanted to do:

If the morphbrush doesn't care about the way Poser handles its meshes, why should I?

No, I don't think Poser has a (commercial) future anymore and I don't see any tendency of Poser 14 to change that outlook.

Dawn and La Femme as well as La Homme are proof that the Poser Team has learned nothing from their past failures or the honest feedback that has been given again and again.

Instead they double down and blame others.

Just like Hollywood.

:-P

But that's not my problem anymore.

As long as I have a working copy of Poser 11 and a machine to run it on, I'm golden.

And that, to me, is all what matters.
