From what I can gather, the main features are an improved HDRI implementation, adding a simplified option to materials and removing the cloth room.

It doesn't feel like much of a new version (it even has less than Poser 13 now that the cloth room has gone) but am I missing something?

I have a lot of nostalgia for Poser, but it's becoming hard to justify the upgrade cost each time, especially when they are removing features and Daz Studio is free. 

At this point and way back, the only hope to have a crazy old rich guy takes Poser from Renderocity and resurrect it. Poser is a zombie for years, yeah you think it's alive from far away, but when you get close, you see it's dead.

Daz3D is not a replacement for Poser even after a decade because of the Poser's animation and morphing abilities. The mind-blowing part is that the Poser should be different because of its animating part, but there is no update about animating for 15 years, 15 fcking years...

The poser cult is already 45+ years old, and they do some stuff and have their own reasons to stay at Poser for whole years even today, and they know some complex stuff too. Why do they still use Poser? I don't have the slightest idea.

Now and then, I ask here for some morphs and rigs, but literally nobody out there even wants to work on PAID Poser content. It's that DEAD of a community, but 20 old guys who ignore their grandchildren probably :P... and renderocity tries to get their money in the worst ways. It's at the point of scamming old people with AI videos on Facebook.
