So... Poser 2009, or possibly Poser Pro2012?  Both are on sale right now.

Just so you know I got into 3D via Daz, so I have a lot of 4th gen materials, and some Genesis.  (I'm not concerned about the Genesis stuff.)

Most of my Renders are currently Reality 2.0.  I'm running Windows 7, x64.

I can't tell whether I need P2009, or PP2012.  I want to get my feet wet and try the legendary easy interface of Poser.

I don't know if there will be performance issues. P2009 is 32 bit for the main engine, right? My PC is 64 bit.  Does anyone know if this is a concern?

I'm not sure if I need the latest features of PP2012.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.
