I will await Tuesday unfolding at Siggraph first to see what's in store for PoserPro. It's great that 8 is out, however.

I believe Poser Pro owners will also get a special email to them addressing their situation that will go out in the batch later this morning.

How does that work for Poser Pro owners without a CP account?
Will this information be available elsewhere?

Starlet, I noticed a blurb at the bottom of the page mentioning that the boxed version (without printed manual) will be available in one to two weeks.

Though I make frequent use of PDF-format manuals, I would still like a printed copy. Will there be a purchase option for obsolete fossils like myself?

Starlet, I'd really love an option to buy the new PPro now, but get P8 in the interim until it comes out.

What's the Hybrid upgrade?

Silke

You guys ARE quick. Man, it's like 3;30 in the morning here and i sw this thread. I wanna know where is the Pro version of 8?????? I have a 64bit laptop (were i do all my 3dwork) and wana know the skinny on availability and pricing.

My Store My Gallery Contact

Can I update to pro later? will it end up costing more or less or no diff?

It's gonna be called Poser Pro 2, right? (if i remember what BagginsBill said)

My Store My Gallery Contact

Apparently the new version of PoserPro is 'in the offing" but later today Tuesday announcement at Siggraph. There is no link or official page for it yet

Poser 8 officially launches tomorrow, emails will start to head out around 3am Pacific time, I believe the press release goes around 5am or 6am (total guess), Siggraph opens at 10am Central (8am Pacific) - so we're just trying to get out ahead of them - you guys don't let anything slip under the radar!

Unfortunately, I don't know any details about manuals or other stuff - I just know it's for sale in Content Paradise - that's my piece! I'm sure you'll all get most of your answers in the emails that are going out, in a few hours, (which take a few hours to send through) and as the rest of the pieces fall in place tomorrow. Us e-commerce people were just deciding that we'd rather turn on before bed than get up in the wee hours of the morning to support all the mailings!

I strongly urge you to contact customer service for any questions you may have regarding any of the questions you posted here, but after the official Poser 8 launch tomorrow. (Poser Pro owners will have more information at that time.)

The physical versions have 1 hybrid serial number and installers for Mac and Windows I believe. The digital versions come with either zip or dmg based on your choice.

Also, I know you say there will be a special introduction on the full version for newsletter subscribers -- what about those of us who have faithfully upgraded every version?
Is there going to be a special upgrade price too?
I want to hit "Buy" desperately, but I don't want to miss out on any special pricing, since I'd like to go to Poser Pro eventually and likely end up paying for it again.

The upgrade discount is shown in the reduced price - there is no additional introductory discount that will be offered. (But when you buy through CP - you get Payback rewards.)

I used my CP coupon with it. Saved about $30 extra bucks!!!

Remember, I'm just CP and got to say it's for sale and am going back to hide now...if you need anything, please feel free to contact Customer Service, and don't just post about issues here - it will be a busy few days and it's easy for us lurkers to miss something here.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to start anything. The coupon I got was from Content Paradise last month. They had a treasure chest thingy and I won a 25% discount coupon which I could redeem on ANY item as long as it was before Aug. 31. I did suspect that meant Poser was coming out soon, so I've been saving it just in case.

Does anyone who has bought a physical copy of any software from Smith Micro, know where copies for the UK are shipped from. When I bought the Poser 6 upgrade from Curious Labs, it just came from Ireland. Just want to know whether SM had a similar shipping structure or to expect a big shipping and tax bill!
Before anyone mentions the download version, the broadband in my area is painfully slow, it still travels through those old copper wires. No cable, fibre optics etc unfortunately!

I bought the boxed version of Poser Pro from Smith Micro and it was shipped from the USA by Fedex. As far as I can remember shipping costs were included. But I certainly didn't have any HM Customs duty or taxes to pay. Delivery was pretty swift as well.

Ref broadband over 'those old copper wires' check out Be Unlimited. I get 2 MB (Mega Bytes) per second down a standard BT phone line.

Thanks for the quick reply on the shipping.

I got a letter saying that they were supposed to be upgrading my local exchange within the next 30 days and that it could improve my broadband speed. I then got an email saying that they were supposed to be working on it last week. Checked last night and doesn't seem to have made any difference at all. In fact it's now so slow that the number is higher but the units after it are lower. Damn school holidays! Kids go out and play, get some fresh air! You'll get square eyes if you look at the screen too long!

Does anybody know.. they say "resuming downloads aren't supported" - so how many tries do we get to download the thing? Just in case it times out because of overload of the server and things?

I could buy the DVD version but the Danish Customs seems to have me marked down as their personal cash cow.. I'm not THAT fond of paying import taxes if I can help it L

I had 3 failures downloading the main Poser 8 file, but got it eventually. I am still downloading the Poser 8 content and Legacy content.

I read.. in my purchase confirmation that...

Download link - You ordered 1 copy of this software. You are authorized to download the software using the link below 1 time to fulfill your order.

But... it allowed me the 3 attempts.

I also payed the extra $8.68 for the extended download service (2 years) but I don't think that was what allowed me the 3 download attempts as it says in my confirmation e-mail that to use that service, Smith Micro has to be contacted in order to reset a new download link.

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"

All 3 files I downloaded (didn't need another copy of the legacy content) did fine on the first try.

OK looks like it isn't counting for real until it's finished. Which would make sense.

Allrighty then.. Better jump in and get it.. I don't want to wait for a DVD LOL

Is anyone who's upgraded done so with a version older than 7? I'm getting that question in my inbox, and, since I don't work for SM, lol, I have no clue.

Thanks.

What's the Legacy content? Is that the same old stuff as the Legacy content that came with Poser 7? No need to clog up the download server with it if it's not needed :)

Meeeh it's slow. But it's getting there. Soon I will be the happy (? ) owner of Poser 8 LOL

Legacy Content is just that, items from previous versions of Poser. I do not know of any additions to the Legacy Content, so if you already have the older versions of Poser, you only need the new content and Program. Linking to the old Runtimes as External Runtimes in the new Library is very easy and allows you access to all your content already installed.

Downloaded and have been playing.....this is very cool, love the interface......I am happy...now off to play. Sharen

Well this suX!

I found out yesterday I won't have a job in a few weeks so now I can renew my domain or get Poser 8 at the intro price.

So where is my email? Been with you guys since the beginning and no email? Kinda tells ya something doesn't it?

So, if you purchase and install Poser 8, it can overwrite Poser 7? Just clarification. That maybe a birthday buy for me - the boxed edition.

As with all past versions of Poser, Poser 8 is its own Program. The Upgrade is Pricing only. You never want to install it over an older version of Poser (you can install it on the same system)

I have Poser 5 through Poser 8 on several of my systems and use all of them through out the day usually (Can not have two different versions running on the same machine at the same time, but you can shut down Poser 7 and go to Poser 8 or Poser Pro.)

I think you're confusing poser pro (poser7-based) with poser pro pack (poser4-based). However, I could be wrong.

As you do not have Poser Pro (released last year) you should enter the Poser 6 serial number.

Pro Pack is, as manoloz said, not related to Poser Pro, so you won't be eligible for the Poser Pro to Poser 8 upgrade.

Can't even get Content paradise to load! You guys have overloaded the system methinks.

I am so glad I bought the upgrade, and before I even got the email...did not really need it. I put in my account and there was the offer at the upgrade price......this is the first time I bought the upgrade right away. This time I did not wait....and guess what?

I SURE AM GLAD.....................I AM LOVING THIS NEW GUI, IT RUNS GREAT, Really happy so far. The install was a little tricky but I went slow and read instructions. Also, I am glad I bought it early this morning, the downloads were slow then, but were moving.

SHAREN

So far it works with all my old runtimes, Poser 4, Poser PRO 4, Poser 6, & 7.....(I never did install 5). Each one is working great.......must be something I am missing, cause I am just having a wonderful time.....Sharen

Since I'm on vacation, (typing on my laptop in a tent on a czech camping) I'll just have too wait till I'm back home and hope that the rush will be over by then, and I have some money left to buy the upgrade.

I hope to see some renders soon from the lucky ones who have finished their downloads.

best regards,

-How can you improve things when you don't make mistakes?

i think i will buy poser 8. there is a big chance i will. i wouldnt have to type in numbers for the lights for physical correct lights. i would get GI and faster AO and faster raytraced renders.

if i will buy it i will complain a little. thats just my thing he he :)

can i have poser pro and poser 8 instaled together without problems?

*"can i have poser pro and poser 8 instaled together without problems? *"

Yes.

LMK

Probably edited for spelling, grammer, punctuation, or typos.

my opinion on poser 8.

not so bad.
it renders faster. i am a little lost and confused because of the new library. but i will get used to.

when i am in the material room it is slower then in poser pro and poser 7.
the IDL is intresting. i dont know if i have a slow computer but a simple box and sphere renders 1 minute and 5 seconds. i think this is pretty long for a render without shadows. but its new and i guess you will fix it.
i can see artifacts but it was said that you will fix it until SP1. i am happy for that.
there is tons of stuff that you get with poser 8. tons. so much that i am spending hours to test it all. tons of stuff.

one thing that i noticed. poser 8 crashed 2 times when i was in the material room. i dont know if i am the only one. but it crashed.

ok BB i think i found my first problem with tone mapping.

it makes the background images brighter. for example the reflection map from the ENsphere.

so i made tests. if i plug something in the ambient channel or alt-diffuse then the tone mapping changes it.

if we can not change this then this is a big problem.

i tryed anti-GC the image with 2,2 and 2 . but it doesnt look like the original image.

whait a minute. we can not change the names of the lights?

ignore my post. it works. still learning.
