Hi Guys
Can anyone give me a reason why I shouldnt upgrade to Poser Pro 2010 over P8? I mean apart from the pricing aspect which is obvious. I'm not a huge Poser user but I do use it intensively occasionaly so having all the features males sense. Unless there is a good reason not to, I see myself plumping for Poser Pro 2010.
AnyThoughts? Anywone?

I've got both (as well as 3,5,6,7 and Pro), and never use 8; I only ever use 64-bit Pro 2010, if that helps.

Hmmm I hear you. Although I use Macs so 64 bit is confined to rendering if I'm not mistaken? Thanks for your input :)

Go Pro! You will not regret it!

Pro is worth it to me just for the improved Library system.

I think in the last SR for Poser 8 they gave it the same library system actually, although it isn't in a separate app window. IMO the major thing that Pro 2010 has going for it is gamma correction. If you rig, the presentation in Joint Editor is significantly nicer in that you're shown vertex weights visually (if you don't know what this means ignore it).

Get Pro ... I have 6, 7 and 8 but they aren't even installed. I only use Pro now.

I have Poser 5 and 6, and recently upgraded to Pro. However, I mainly did it because I beta test, and it only made sense to have the more current version. Though, I haven't installed it yet and am not currently beta testing due to annoying health stuff.
Personally, if the version you are using now meets your needs, I see no reason to upgrade to something newer.

I used to use P7 and was quite satisfied with it. I've since got PP2010 and infinitely happier with the renders, the options of renderer GC and the really impressive stability of the programme. You do need significantly beefier hardware to really take advantage of this, though: my poor little Pentium IV 2.8 with 1 gig RAM ran it, but only just.
I now have a i3 (all I could afford for the foreseeable future) and 4 gig of RAM with Windows 7 64 bit, and it is a significantly better environment to run this programme in. Oh, the motherboard can handle up to 16 gig, so I'll be upgrading that when I can afford to.

PRO! Get PRO!
Once you've figured out gamma correction there's no going back. And if you have a 64-bit system there are performance benefits.

I'd upgrade. I have P8 currently but I hope to upgrade soon.

Watch for those specials, Ryus... that's when I was able to finally make the jump. I never regretted it... but yeah, the current pricing is pretty steep!
