Ok, I have Poser 5, and it has some very serious shortcomings.  I would like to know if these issues have been addressed or corrected in versions 6 or 7.  Now on with my list...

  1. Cloth room bugs: 
        calculation routinely aborts before the end of the animation (i.e. calculates 3 frames of a 400 frame sequence)

  2. Animation
        If Firefly perceives any object surrounding a scene to be "Solid", all frames are rendered as the background color.  So, 30 hours later, you have a solid "Poser color" animation.  This happens even if rendering single frames vields the images correctly

  3. Displacement
        Blotchy appearance on figures scaled over 200%

  4. Hip-centric animation
        Any attempt to re-orient the hips tips the entire figure.  This makes keyframe dancing just about impossible.

I have wasted countless hundreds of hours trying to get some effect out of Poser only to find that it just doesn't work right.  If Poser 7 is the same, I'll be skipping it altogether.
