Does Poser14 include lighting and shaders that support the new features? Will there be tutorials and promotional materials for these new features?

Tutorials? From official renderocity? Herecy!!! The last tutorials are more than 5 years old, and my god, so basic that you can already figure it out by randomly button-bashing for 5 minutes. And the poser cult does not want to create any video but write pages of technical words, only they can understand. There is a reason we are in a forum but not a Discord server right now...

I have been animating with Poser for 20+ years, and the only tutorial I know is a 2-minute video with only hand moves. I learned what I know all by myself. I ask for some technical details on this forum, but mostly I don't get any answers, and I figure it out myself if I am lucky. I know there are many magic tricks out there you can do with poser, most of them with some orthodox ways. Still, nobody would tell that today because everyone here learn what they already knew 2-3 decades ago, and even the ancient forum-website tutorials are gone. There is no way to know what you can do, and even if you see something, there is no way to learn how to do it.

I can't imagine a worse treatment for a program, and it's 175$ pay-walled. Try to defend it as much as you want, but the time has changed. A decade ago.
