Heh. I doubt many folks from S-M will be reading here, but thought it may be more realistic to ask for truly new features in PP 2010 than in a service release for P8.

So I'll begin with these:

1. Port the upgraded features of P8 to Poser Pro (e.g. IDL). Pretty self-evident, but we may as well state it. And yes, I want the upgraded library. :) (With the forthcoming upgrades/improvements etc, of course.)

2. Native 64 bit application.

3. Subsurface Scattering.

4. Object-specific lighting. (If this can already be done, I'd like to know how. One use: It would be nice to set a shadow map light specifically for hair, so that there are still shadows if you exclude it from raytracing.)

5. Context-sensitive image import and export: App returns to last directory imported from (i.e. for textures) when importing, and last directory exported to when exporting (for saving renders).

6. PSD alpha channel support.

7. Exclude object from camera. Still cast shadows and shows up in reflections. This is possible in other apps; easy solution to accidentally rendering with a wall in the way (at the very least: upgrade preview to match render, so that if the wall isn't in the way in preview, it doesn't show up in the render).

8. Import .obj as full body morph.

9. Additional morphing tools. I'm not expecting another ZBrush inside of Poser, but some basic tools would be nice, especially in Poser Pro. E.g. Rotate, Move.

10. Ability to maneuver camera rotations and placement within the posing screen (e.g. right-click, move left = rotate left).

11. Ability to save Morphing Tool morphs with a simple right click from the interface with the new morph selected (or better yet, use the existing save to Pose dialogue to allow the option to save a custom morph to a pose file). Should be able to create dials for the figure Body and the affected body parts.

12. Selective undo. There are many uses for this. E.g. Sometimes you've made a change and then nicely set up a camera or whatever and notice that your change doesn't look so good from the new angle. You want to be able to undo your change without undoing your work since.

I don't know if I dare ask for it, but multiple background renders would be nice. Although admittedly, Poser Pro's ability to render in queue alleviates this somewhat, sometimes one wants to see multiple renders while in progress. Another option, though I don't know if it would be possible, is if Queue could be toggled to display periodic progressive rendering. I'd think multiple bg rendering would be easier, as the technology and display system is already there for bg rendering.
