well I am happy that SR3 is on its way but a little peeved to say the least about nothing of consequence really being fixed. the "File not found" dialog problem is an ongoing frikkin' nightmare that would be rather easy to fix if the developers would just look at it for more than 2 seconds. the damned ~4MB leak is rediculous. There is NO WAY that can be thought of as acceptable. I mean c'mon 2GB od memory should be WAAAAAAAAAAY more than I would need, but to render anything decent at 3200x2400 @300 DPI I typically see poser's memory usage at 1.3 GB +, so don't try to tell me it's a problem when I render something (no matter the size) and watch about 4 MB disappear each time. the fact that poser is not smart enough to UNLOAD unused textures from memory is just plain dumb. This ties into my last note about the memory leak. Screw poser loading 10 seconds faster, I would rather be able to create one damned thing in it without it crashing like a mofo. Luckily, I am a "save" nazi now because of Poser ... but hey whatever I guess.... the fact that the dials, as where pointed out, are much like a roullette wheel ... unacceptable when considering it used to work fine, and is now broken. and these are a few of my gripes. I wish they would stop fixing the stupid shit and get to fixing the CORE. As a programmer myself I cannot fathom why the hell some of the most basic things are still non-functional. If my company had written something like this .. I would imagine we would lose quite a few clients due to lack of quality. I understand it was a "We have to get this out the door" kinda thing, but really if you would suffered for your product a little longer in order to do it right ... you would have made boatloads more revenue from the release instead of what happened. If Curious Labs needs programming help I am willing to do so. Anything to make it better because as it is it is almost unusable for me. I am proficient in C/C++, Java, VB, you name it =) end rant ...This rant was brought to you by the number 6 and the letter J --fretty
