Poser Pro, actually. A program that literally nobody except Monty used. A program that couldn't use any effects, you couldn't model in, you could barely rig any non-human humanoids (supposedly why Blake has both human and animal ears), A program so weak that you couldn't really make high polygon models in and that's why everything was so jagged... They couldn't put too much detail in necessary places so every building is just a flat block, the lighitng was bad... There's basically no textures... They couldn't populate a city with crouds of people because the program would kill itself, and when they did manage to make a crowd there were people copy pasted in the same shot.

Each Volume they upgrade in terms of animation. From only black silhouettes, to better shadows, to the aura effect, to elemental effects, fluid simulations, crowds.

Also HighCastle, when they were asked (several times) if they'll reanimate V1-3 in Maya they always responded that V1-3 are the legacy of the show. To remind them how far they'd come. Also sacrificing future volumes to reanimate past volumes would be a waste.

There is no petition to downgrade the show. You are the only person so far to have mention this. You may prefer the look and animation of the first 3 volumes, but that's on you.
