I've used Poser for a number of year - starting with Poser 2 - and the last version I purchased and installed was Poser 11. Over the years the software has changed hands - a number of times - I was happy to find out that Bondware/Renderosity took it over - which is a site that I have purchased a lot of content from in the past.
I use to be very active in using this software, along with Carrara, Bryce, Vue, and several other of the 3D graphics packages. But, I really haven't done anything with it for quite a while. So it will probably take me a few weeks to get back up to speed - and to figure out the new features.
Installing this software was easier than I was expecting. First off, when you order this software here at Amazon, you get a card that has the download instructions and the serial number to use to activate the software. Download and install was quick and easy. And - you can install this software & content on your secondary drive - which is a plus for me. After installation, you can download the content and it automatically decompresses and puts the files in their proper folders. If you have an active Renderosity account, you can access that from Poser and download & install content that you have in your account there. Not all apparently, as there was a lot of old stuff in my account that didn't show up as being available - going to have to see what is needed to be done to manually install some of the older content.
The Poser interface is pretty much the same as it has always been - similar to that of Carrara & Bryce. There is a web manual that is accessible from the drop down Help menu. It's located locally - so not needing to go online for it. I sort of prefer a PDF manual - but the web one isn't bad.
Looking forward to getting back into doing some 3D stuff. I have tried using 3D Daz's Studio - but have never clicked with the user interface like I do with Poser. I guess it really depends on what you start with that matters.
I installed this software on my Win10 laptop - instead of my desktop. I may later see if I can also put it on my desktop as it's a more powerful rig. I'm am really happy with this purchase.
