Poser is now at Poser 14.0.439 (30th July 2026). Updates I noted since the Poser 14.0.227 release include, among many other items in the Changelog…
– Upgraded OpenGL from 2.2 to 4.3.
– Support for 8 lights in scene vs. 5 previously.
– GLSL now previews PrincipledBSDF, DiffuseBSDF, TransparentBSDF, Math nodes, Image Texture with alpha channel.
– HDRI environment maps correctly light and render as a background sphere. Rotation correctly dials 0-360 degrees.
– Area Light shape types in the property pane now contain Rectangle and Square.
– Increased the Shadow Blur Radius for the Infinite light.
– Shadow Blur Radius correctly works in Cycles [SuperFly].
– Eliminated pixelated shadows.
– Shadows from transparent objects no longer broken in FireFly renders.
– Fixed ability to apply animated Poses back to Props.
– Added the ability to save poses for props.
– Props can now save animations.
– Various Physics/Cloth fixes.
– User can now paint Rigidity onto cloth.
– Added Cloth Type presets Silk, Rubber, Cotton, Wool/Fleece, Denim, and Leather.
– Various Bullet Physics / collision fixes.
– Added per frame smoothing option to physics simulation settings and function.
– Focal distance indicator no longer malfunctions when animation keys are added.
– Online reference manual: New Help Topic for Gobo Lights.
– Gobo spotlight implemented for Cycles [SuperFly].
– Poser 14 correctly links to the Poser 14 reference manual.
So, a nice balance between updates for animators, and those who want better lighting and shadows. A major push forwards, by the look of it. Having “8 lights in scene” is reason enough on its own to upgrade.
