For anyone looking for mouse control options in Poser to match most 3d software take a look at this plug-in
Dizzi_camera

it means you can have similar camera controls with the mouse for Daz and Poser (middle mouse and ctrl middle mouse options)

Looks like it works for Poser 8 and Poser pro 2010 :)

Updates to Past Poser Versions:

Smith Micro did not give Bondware (the current owners of Poser and Renderosity) the updates to the past versions when they sold them the software. Various users, including me, have provided the updates they had saved to Bondware, and they can be downloaded here:

https://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2949609#msg4394414

If anyone has the download of any Poser updates not listed, please send a sitemail to Structure at Renderosity so it can be made available.

EDIT see next post for Poser 9 SR3...
