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...
Cloth room bugs:
calculation routinely aborts before the end of the animation (i.e. calculates 3 frames of a 400 frame sequence)
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
Displacement
Blotchy appearance on figures scaled over 200%
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.
