If you want to be cool, use an Apple

If you need a tool, use a Nvidea/Intel PC.

In my earlier Poser times, I've tried to make animations. I just gave up. I am only doing stills now. I just don't want to wait for a movie clip to be finished, when each frame takes at least one hour to render.

Does apple still have that "graphic reputation"? Man this has been debunked 15 years ago.

@ TheDarkerSideOfArt: Yeah, that's what I call renders. Ther is one more painful truth. There is also the Poser users responsibility. Don't complain about SM. Do better, make better scenes and renders. Stop those dead eyed Dawn and V4 renders. You have Superfly now and most renders still look flat and like done back in 2006. Check out the Poser Staff Picks Sept3. to 9. Only 4 out of 12 winners posts, actually have an acceptable quality. Is this realy representing a modern software? The future of Poser is also in your hands. Be an inspiration to others.

Whew! Thanks everyone. Glad to hear Poser ain't dead.

'Rosity is no longer the "go-to" place for Poser news. The SM forums are the place to be.

@ patorak3d: Anything you'll need to know is there.Never say "DAZ" there. Those maniacs will rip you into pieces ;-)

Poser has been declared dead for numerous times. The last published patch was already done by the new team. I expect a new version this fall. I think that Ero said that some of the bugs which pested him while creating Project E will be adressed, so I guess there will be a new version. Just done by a different team.

But even if not, P11 does work for me. I don't like the Genesis figures that much. I don't know if Iray is really that much better. Heck, if there won't be another version this year I will get Octane to see if it renders better.

An expensive, but best solution. When playing with PE in Poser, I render my scene with Octane Render only.

I am not realy an expert here, but I don't think it is possible to do, what you're trying to do. If you want bones in DS, you'll have to add bones and do the full rigging in DS as well. Especially not with the obj. file format. I don't know, if fbx. would work.

What do want from Evo? North South-

East West-

or Not of This World-

A few quick renders of some (not all!) of the supplied characters.

Oh bloody hell, well done renders.

This debate is irrelevant. Every person makes their own choice of whether to stay with Poser or not. I was a Poser cheerleader until DAZ Studio offered better software for free. Over the years, DAZ offered content that totally eclipsed Poser's offerings. I bought Poser 8 out of nostalgia, but quickly decided it had nothing to offer me. I don't see any reason to go back to Poser.

I took a break from Poser with release 10. Felt empty, needed new input. Started playing around with DS. Then DAZ introduced Genesis3 and IRAY. After a year playing around with DS, PoserPro11 was released. I expected SM to take the torch and come out with something phenominal, but ... F*** don't want to talk about that again.

There are a lot of high quality V4 renders in the galleries, which are mostley portrays. V4's face is its strengh. It is highley morphable. But it is a PITA, to see all these V4 renders with their unbalanced all the same pre set poses and those licking lips and laugh "s.e.x.y" expressions. V4 smiles are butt ugly, because she suffers from the DAZ-smile desease. Her upperlips don't strech when she smiles. We have the same V4 renders over and over in all galleries for 12 !!! years now. Move on, please.! Here I recreated a V4 gallery nightmare: [ugly Render.png]

Poser is not dead, that's for sure, but I don't see a Poser development at the moment. The reason is not only SmithMicro. It is the Poser community, that seem to consist mainly of Poser nostalgics caught in the earley 2ks. Look at the Poser galleries, look at their clinging tight to V4 and Dawn. sorry I see a lot of flat colored with wooden posed preset characters starring into nowhere. move on please. ---------- Playing more with Poser again since PE is out, it feels like going back in time. Really, do i still have to fix poke throughs? Really, my clothes don't fit to my custom morphs? Really, lost my morphs again, because of some PMD file issue? Poser could be more advanced, if Poser users whould have more asked for it. But they don't. When ever you ask for features to include in Poser, especially when DS has allready, you get branded as a DAZ troll. Feels like a conspiracy theory from a religious cult. To make it clear again.------------ I do like diversety! I do like competition! I do like using different softwares! I do not want Poser to die! I do want Poser to get better! I do want SM to keep up with modern software like DS and Iclone! I do want better native figures for Poser! ( no messed up joints anymore and no emeciated ugly base figures anymore)

And no, I am not paid by the evil DAZ empire.

And no again, DS is not perfect. I painfully miss a morph brush, adding HD details and mostley the dependency editor.

It is a bummer, that DAZ sees IClone as a threat instead as a chance. It could be so easy: DS for stills, Iclone for animations.

At butznutz. LOL. Then Blender is going to become VERY popular.

Once blender is updating its UI with some useful icons in 2.8, so average mortals will be able to use it, it might be more popular anyway.

Don't they have any ambitions to bring out new and better Dawn and Dusk figures? After all, they're out now for quite a while.

Doubt it - It doesn't appear that their business model is based on churn.

lol
