Woke (wōk) adjective: "Aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues." - Merriam-Webster

So yes, we try really hard to be "woke" when it comes to the Poserverse. When we get feed back, complaints, rants or the rare constructive criticism the Poser team always takes it seriously. I never quite understood why situational awareness is considered a bad thing.

Let's unpack the point. If Poser still serves you even if it's Poser 1, good. That's what it's supposed to do. Nowhere in the click-wrap license did you agree to sell any organs, be stitched together as a human centipede or that you were compelled to buy the next release of Poser. The fact that FireFly fits your needs is definitely acknowledged. FireFly isn't going away. FireFly produces render styles SuperFly can't. But, when I want a photo-real render and I don't want to wait days for it. The P13 SuperFly is literally 40 times faster than it was in P11. That's not 40%, 40 times faster. Renders that took hours now take minutes.

But, without users who support future developments there really will be no future. For those who support a future with Poser, we really appreciate and thank you for believing in the Poserverse.

P.S. The noise reduction in P12 and P13 is not a blur filter. It's Intel Open Image Denoise, an AI based noise removal: https://www.openimagedenoise.org/
