P6 has a shadow-catcher material now, so we should more easily be able to create composite renders with 3D figures against real-world backgrounds (stills or video footage), and still have shadows.
And apparently you can't delete frames any more, although I don't think that was intended as a feature. It certainly doesn't qualify as an improvement. I'm hoping that'll be fixed soon ... like before I receive my copy.

Yeah guess I won't get to uninstall Poser 5 until at least the first patch comes out. :D It's gonna suck having 3 versions of poser on 1 comp...Good thing I got that huge 240 gig RAID.

Just added to the P6 Knowledge Base:

Apparently, the BVH exporter was "broken" when CL added CenterOfMass to the figures' hierarchal structure. They're working on an update, but meanwhile they have suggestions for hand-editing the BVH files to make them compatible with other applications. And a Python script that can do it for you.
