I'm using Mimic 2 Pro in Mac OS X 10.2.6 (and QuickTime 6.2) on a PowerBook G4/400MHz with 1024MB of RAM and a 40GB hard drive, and although Mimic's potential is great, it seems to be the buggiest program I've ever used. It will frequently freeze up, causing the whole Mimic window to go white and stay that way even if I quit and restart Mimic. Although it doesn't freeze the system, I have to restart my computer to get Mimic 2 to work again. I've only been able to save Mimic scenes and config files a couple of times, because it frequently locks up at all stages of a project--I've had crashes in the session manager, when adding expressions and phonemes, and while attempting to save and export files. It has problems importing certain .cr2s, such as a Victoria 2 (which works fine in Poser) that I stripped of most body morphs. Also, the audio graph doesn't show up when I'm working on a file, and even with OpenGL, the preview is slower than real time, so I have to export the pose and render a movie in Poser to get real-time feedback. If I then re-import that movie in Mimic 2 and attempt to play it back, it goes just as slowly and jerkily as the "real-time" OpenGL preview, so I have to view it separately in QuickTime. And sfrench, I agree with you about the windows-in-windows design being a poor choice. The windows are conveniently resizable and movable (the interface feels a lot like Apple's Final Cut video-editing software, actually) but the menus really ought to be in the Mac menu bar rather than a separate menu bar within the Mimic window. It feels as if the program is running in a Windows emulator, rather than being a truly Mac-native program. Having Photoshop-style tear-off windows so you could separate the expressions and phonemes palettes would be nice, too. All that said, I still think DAZ is a great company with stellar customer service and otherwise excellent products. From the limited use I have gotten out of Mimic 2, it's clear that it will be a wonderful asset once the bugs are resolved, and given DAZ's responsiveness to customer feedback, I am confident that the bugs will be resolved. I just wish that DAZ had issued Mimic 2 as a public beta, as it's planning to do with DAZ|Studio, so that the bugs could have been fixed before we paid for the program. I wrote to DAZ about these problems on Saturday, and I hope to hear back from them today. Maybe there will be a Mimic 2.1 in the near future. :)
