I'm surprised there's no commentary here. Of course, there is the dreaded word "soon".

Those who aren't on FB should be able to see it , I think...

Will "Very" soon help?? Yes. This is big. And I have to say, it has major upgrades and new features.

Thanks for the heads up. Now to wait for the final announcement and price tag.

...and details on the activation scheme...

Ack was hoping for a more Christmas time release :( Bet it's close to Thanksgiving which would also be tight spending...

I agree on a November launch.

Oh my!

I don't mind a dial home to activate/register as long as it's reasonable -- as in just once when it's installed or if your machine dies and you need to put it on a new one. Also if there's a way to activate for people whose systems are never online. I only hope they don't go crazy and hop on the DRM/encryption/cloud bandwagon like others have done and are doing, otherwise I'm looking forward to it.

Well, actually there was, albeit sneakily...

I rebuilt my old P7 armillary, reworking the mesh -and remapping- to suit a PBR (Physics Based Renderer), and made some initial Superfly materials for it. The Earth is volumetric glass. This will be a freebie. Rendered in P11Pro, Superfly engine

Very nice!

Rigged?

Any chance of a full solar-system orrery? :)

You know, working with Poser to create a truly accurate solar-system orrery would be... a master-work of complexity and design in Poser.

I haven't decided whether to finalize it as a rigged figure or as a hierarchical prop set.

I did make an orrery some time back, as a background setting for Tomb Raider fan art.

It would need considerable updating. In any case, I'm guessing you had in mind a tabletop model.

To be accurate, wouldn't the planets have to be truly tiny (as in almost invisible) -- or the entire contraption truly enormous? ;)

I got an invitation for the Webinar about Poser 11 New Features Overview. For sure I signed the launch Webinar.

Yes. The only thing I can do -and the only thing needed- would be to ERC the planets so that they orbit (and spin) at the correct relative speeds. But a tabletop model with a little hand crank would be feasible.

Actually, not really. :)

The orrey gives the planet's relative motions. It's not meant to be a "to scale" replica of the solar system, but one that yields useful information. Of course, if you wanted a completely accurate orrey, it being to scale would be necessary. :)
