It's not an old poser (I'm using Poser Pro 2014 and M4-V4 characters), it might be me deliberately enhancing the contrast though... I prefer it that way but it some people think it looks creepy... I added the original unedited poser files then....
I think MeGuy is talking about the facial expressions, which are sadly lacking in Poser. They've improved, but other systems have improved a lot faster. The problem is, Poser just doesn't port to newer things like Daz. Too much time already invested in Poser to switch now. Hopefully they continue to bring it along. It has improved over the years, it's just not keeping pace, ATM.
