I just got my Poser 7 for Mac in the mail today and installed it on my Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 4 GB of RAM. All I can say is WOW! WOW!!!! Does this baby smoke with the renders! I tried mostly scenes and figures that I had developed using Poser 6, and I would say that P7 is easily 5+ times faster than P6 with rendering of various quality levels, and perhaps even greater at mid-to-low quality renders. My only concern is that the renders seem a bit darker than they were in P6. Of course, my P6 ran on a Mac Pro (Intel) in Rosetta emulation, which was somewhat slower than it ran on my 2.0 GHz G5 Dual. But with P7's ability to take advantage of multiple processors and more RAM, the difference now in simply astonishing. Yes, yes, I've noticed a few of the things that other threads have raised about P7, but not crashing -- hasn't happened once. Yet. Maybe it's the Mac OS and how it works with P7. That said, the initial figures and scenes are a bit slow to load, at least the first figures in a scene. I'll have stronger opinions once I've fooled around with some animations, but for now HOW 'BOUT THEM RENDERS! SS
