Or if you prefer, what version of poser do you use now.-.

Poser 4

My bet is that lots of people still use Poser 4. Like me for example :P

Sometimes I use Poser 4, sometimes 5. It depends on what I'm doing.

147,896 just a guess...I use 5

Poser 4 and PSP7.

My P4 library got too choked - so difficult to use adn I couldn't use any folders in my Pose dir below the letter M unless I renamed them. Now I use P5 99% of the time. I love the multiple runtimes :-)

I'm using vanilla 4. The addition of python to the newer versions is tempting, but so far there's nothing I've wanted to do that I haven't been able to do in 4 - and the reports of system hogging and troubles from 5 don't make me think I'll be wanting to switch any time soon.

Honestly I'll probably wait until 6 (I should qualify, 6 when it becomes stable), to upgrade.

Then again I like Windows 2000 better than Windows XP, Age of Kings better than Age of Mythology, Warcraft II better than Warcraft III and so on, so I'm not exactly a slave to the latest and greatest - and therefore not really representative of the overall software purchasing public - there's got to be a really good reason for me to upgrade something that I already enjoy, I'm not buying new versions for the sake of buying new versions.

How's that for too much answer? :D

Mostly Poser 4. I have Poser 5, but I haven't used it much.

Poser 4.2 (aka Poser Pro Pack) supported by PBooost. All those nodes in P5 frighten and confuse me.

Poser 4....Poser 5 locks up too much plus with P4 I can do other things while it renders...with P5, I have to shut down everything to use it if I'm going to use V3 or M3....and then still pray it won't lock up but it usually does. But I wish I could use P5 more successfully cause the folder situation is ridiculous in Poser 4. I have to have Windows Explorer open so I can count how far down the right pose folder is...LOL

4 Pro with no plans to upgrade yet. I can live without the dynamic hair and clothing in 5. The raytracing was about the only addition that interested me and I have been saving for a decent 3D app that I can import into and render.

Expert in computer code including, but not limited to, BTW; IIRC; IMHO; LMAO; BRB; OIC; ROFL; TTYL. Black belt in Google-fu.

Poser 4, Poser 4 Pro Pack, and Poser 5 on both Windows and MacOS to test my products. For general use, I use Poser 5. Aside: Has anyone installed Poser 5 SR4.1 yet and what were the results? :)

Hi ditto Sandy I use 4 might go for pro pack sometime when and If I can afford it Dave

pro pack here.. i have p5 but it takes me 100 times longer to do something and the material room makes my brain leak, so yup.. i'm a propack gal... (and PS7)

My Gallery

Poser 4 w/ProPack most of the time (when I want to actually accomplish something). Poser 5 when I have time to kill and want to punish myself.

Poser 5 because of the multiple runtimes. Much easier to keep things organised. :)

90% using just Poser 4, 10% using Poser 5

Pro Pack, for the Max plugin.

ProPack 99%. Only use the other to be sure a Python script will work for those poor unlucky folks who are stuck with nothing but 5 :)

Good old Poser 4, no Pro Pack, no plans to upgrade. I'll only quit using it when DAZ finally gets DAZ|Studio finished, and even that's only if it no longer has Bryce-like render times. ;) SnowS

I do not speak as a representative of DAZ, I speak only as a long-time member here. Be nice (and quit lying about DAZ) and I'll be nice too.

P5 100%

I use poser 4 about 40% of the time and poser 5 the other 60%...a lot depends on what I am doing...for testing textures quick I like P4, but for renders & multiple library use I love p5...

P4 ProPack - bought after I bought P5 :-(

kuroyume0161, P5 Sr4.1 is the first and only SR that made P5 work fast enough for the product to be really usuable on my system - but by then I'd about lost interest. SR4.0 was the slowest of the entire set (of 12 if you count the original release as SR0).

I use Poser 4 almost exclusively, even though I have PP and P5 installed for testing. As the lowest common denominator, any vendor that doesn't develop his stuff in P4 is shooting himself in the hip. If you want to do P5 materials, do that afterward. I also own Poser 2, don't use it that much anymore, though. ;-)

poser 4 here

Pure Poser 4, never even upgraded to ProPack and definitely not P5! At this time, I have no plans to upgrade. P4 does what I want, and I can render in Vue if I need more detail. Melanie

Poser 4 - Metacreations version with at least one Curious Labs patch (there might be more but I have forgotten). I have moved it to an external hard drive because it was on a 4GB partition on my internal h/d which was not big enough. I had too many models installed to accommodate any more. I moved it by dragging and dropping the entire Poser folder without any problems at all. It can now grow to about 50GB before I shall need to think about getting a second bigger external drive that it can have all to itself.

I looked at Poser 5 when it was first brought out, but I don't think my system is powerful enough for it, especially my graphics card. So I stick with Poser 4 which works so well for me.

Poser 4 when ever I can run it under Mac OS9 - Poser5 when I use OSX. Poser5 Mac is just so bloody slow that it's a real pleasure to use Poser 4. Best; Dan

ProPack mainly but I use Poser 5 as well. Marque

Poser 4 and PSP7 here, too. No plans to upgrade, working with DAZ Studio. Wish they'd make some preset lights for the dang thing!

FlyByNight

P5 all the way, Bayee!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

P5 for everything, except renders which I do in Vue. I had to get P4 only so that I could test my freebies for use in P4. How many people are still using Windows 95? Or 98?

Poser pro pack, no plans to upgrade to poser 5. Windows XP.

My gallery @ Renderosity

I develop my garments in PPP and P4, rarely use P5. I am too lazy to really play with it, besides what PPP's renderer lacks I can usually postwork.

Dominique Digital Cats Media

P4 here too (and without any Vickies or Mikes either).

Dreams are just nightmares on prozac...
Digital WasteLanD

Win 98 here, numanoid. It works fine for me. Melanie

Poser 4 ProPack on a WinXP.

P5 all the way. The shading and rendering in P4 is just too limited.

Until SP4, almost solely Pro Pack. Since SP4 (and SP4.1) I think I've opened Pro Pack twice. One of those was by mistake. I'll never go back, I love the Material room FAR too much now! And it's a stable as Pro Pack ever was (which means it DO crash occasionally but no more than Pro Pack did) WinXP Home. Would never go back from XP either. Win2KPro at work (but no Poser there), when I'm at work I miss my XP.

P 4 and Win98 - can't afford to upgrade..and not sure my poor skills would do any better with Poser 5

P5 always and every time. I only keep P4 and ProPack for testing purposes but I always about to run away screaming when I open those two versions. And don't get me started on DAZ Studio ... eeewwww

Every organisation rests upon a mountain of secrets ~ Julian Assange

P5 all the time. Have not opend P4 for over a year.

Carol! You moved the Poser folder to an external HD and it works fine? You mean the program runs off the external drive even though it wasn't installed there? I'm asking because I have an external HD -120Gigs and would love to have it there for space reasons too. "I moved it by dragging and dropping the entire Poser folder without any problems at all."

There's a Poser 4 and Poser 5??? I'm still using Poser! Just kidding I use 4 with the updates. Been tempted to buy 5 a couple of time, but all the issues with it make me leary of it. People seem to either curse it or swear by it. Looking forward to Daz studio and hope that they can improve the render times.

Poser4 & ProPack here too

Using PPP here...I have Poser5 but I haven't even taken it out of the box yet LOL

Poser 5....Poser 4 locks up too much - wheras P5 SR4.1 has the memory leak that caused so many P4 and Pre-SR4 P5 problems. Truth be told THIS is the fix which makes Poser really WORK for me - I might be tempted to use Poser 4 more if it had this memory leak fixed (assuming that was enough to make it as stable as Poser 5). As is, Poser 4 is crippled both by lack of functionality (textures! No Materials Room!) and by comparative instability. Cheers, Cliff

Poser 4 with Vue & Photoshop support. Been tempted by ProPack. Will see what Daz|Studio ends up being. May look at Poser 6.

Pro pack and poser 5 win98 I use pro pack a lot more than poser 5 because I prefer the screen to be 800x600.

Poser 4

"I like my species the way it is."

Well I found Poser5 to be too complicated, the fact that you have to go to different rooms to pose, add clothing, texture, and add hair, turns out to be too much, so Ive stuck with Poser4 Propack.

Ask me a question, and I'll give you an answer.

Dizzie that's what I've done a few times too :o) Moving the lot. I have Poser on it's own 40Gb harddisk and every time I get a new computer, I just put that disk in and make a new shortcut to Poser.exe on my desktop. works just fine :o) This is Poser 4 Pro Pack, My Poser 5 is installed and I'm just linking to that old runtime because I don't want to reinstall some odd 25Gb of stuff. But it works fine anyway :o)

Oh and Xantor.. Why can't you have a 800x600 workspace in Poser 5? I do. And actually it's easier to have a bigger workspace with the floating parameter palette...

ernyoka1 when I use 800x600 I keep losing the pose/ui/camera dots but I will try again.

Poser Pro Pack, I tried Poser 5 and my pc is too slow for it

Pro Pack here. Haven't gotten P5 yet but i am considering it.

I use P5. Would never consider going back to 4 now. Dynamic clothes make it all worth while for me, and the power of the material room never ceases to amaze.

100% PPP. Have been looking at P5 (seems to unstable)and DAZ Studio. I would really like a mix of PPP with DAZ Studio. I think D/S definately has promise. Having said that,if DAZ or someone else dosen't make a plug-in of some sort so magnets can be used D/S will not be used to anymore than about 5% by me. :-)

I'm using Poser 4.0.3. It rules! My friend has Poser 5, which looks pretty good, but I'm used to using Poser 4.

Oh wow Trekkie, that's fab news!! I'll be moving asap and I think I'll leave the some empty Poser folders on C drive so I can install to there and copy to the other drive...yeah, that'll work.....big arse grin Thanks for the Tip!

Poser 4 pro pack, used to use P5 but ate machine up to much, loved the hair and face room on P5, but i do preffer P4PP! i have DAZ|studio on comp somehwere, but havent used it yet!

Poser 5, and I don't plan to go back to P4.

Poser 5. I never had P4 or ProPack. I also use Vue 4+ and can import P5. Use PsP 8 for postwork

Poser 4 here, with the 4.0.3 update. I'm fairly sure it's as much as my computer can handle — I don't have a brand new all-singing all-dancing system, remember not everyone can afford to constantly chase the upgrade trail. I get crashes, of course, especially since I still use Win98, but if I remember to save often enough I can work around that. I'm happy enough, and I can do most of what I want with P4.

Installed P5, never looked back

I use P5 for almost everything. I do use P4 to take advantage of the crosstalk for clothes, then it get put back to P5 again. If it wasn't for the crosstalk in P4, I wouldn't use it at all. Can't go back once I used and started to understand P5.

Poser 4 here. And I won't be changing to anything (P5 (or 6) or Daz studio) any time soon.. P4 does all that I need it to do.

CRITIC, n. A person who boasts himself hard to
please because nobody tries to please him.

Yes the crosstakl is one of those things you almost wish they DIDN'T fix LOL I miss it in the morphing clothes. Never thought about using PPP for that though. Good idea :o)

Hmmm many, many more people using P5 now then everyone always says there are. Good news!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

Just poor-man's software, here: P4 (no ProPack) and PS6. I'm looking at biting the bullet and trying Vue or P5; DAZ|Studio is so memory-hungry that it's practically useless to me.

I got poser5 because of the low $99 dollar upgrade for mac OSX but I do all of my character animation in the good old poser propack4 and render in my older seat of Cinemad4XL7.3.3. Its still the best solution for external rendering for me.

i saved up for p5, and then never got it because of the reviews it was getting in the forums. so, i continued to save and finally got lightwave. so, p4, here, when i use poser at all. i've become addicted with making critters and stuff and have a hd full of half completed lil guys.

P4, and I see nothing better coming out in the near future.

I have P5, but I still use P4. Maybe now that DAZ Studio does not support some of the features I use, I may switch to P5.

Poser 4 only here...thumbs down on P5 and not crazy about Daz Studio at this point.

Hasn't P4 been relaunched as "Poser Artist"? I use P5 partly because I seem to have just missed the tail-end of availability in the UK, but P4 would probably do everything I want.

My P4 and Win98 very rarely ever lock up or crash on me. Only if I've been working back and forth between two heavy duty programs, but just P4 alone, it never locks up, even on Win98. I must be doing something right. Melanie

Poser 4, sometimes ProPack. I have two installs on separate HDs - one called "Poser V3", the other "Poser Victoria". This helps me keep track of all the stuff I have since I rarely mix V1 and V3 in the same render. Also use Photoshop 7, Mimic, Premiere 6 and Fruity Loops 3. Need a better computer before trying P5. All of the above works great on WinXP with 350mhz (512mb RAM).
