There can be several things that I find annoying in the vast majority of Poser products. I mean, the kind of little things which can have you spoil time on problems that should not exist.
There's the issue of the "most of female standing poses are set for high heels", and then... there is the issue of "everything's got a shadow".
Now don't take it the wrong way, people, but honestly...
Let's imagine I am standing in a simple, cubic room. There's a chair, a couch, a TV maybe and a poster on a wall. Does the poster have to have a shadow on the opposite wall? Does the floor have to project a shadow thanks to the only lightbulb hanging from the ceiling? A lightbulb that's  inside the room? Do the WALLS of a room project shadows when the only light source is inside the room?
I see tons of products coming out with that problem. If the product is a composite scene with lots of tiny props, deco items on the walls, etc, going through every item that can't project a shadow can be very tedious.
Merchants, O our merchants. I love your stuff. I buy even when I'm broke, sometimes, despite not being very wealthy ( Ok, not wealthy at all) but could you pay a little bit more attention to the shadows-that-should-not-be-there? The only case when we would want to see them is when rendering some Dr Who themed picture. I'm sure someone will get that one :D

Thank you for your kind attention. Bow
