Yes....Poser Artist could be their attempt to make a "Picture It!" for the Poser world. The problem is....that's maybe what they should have done in the first place? A "Poser Artist" for those who just do stills....and a "Poser Animator" for those who do animations? I've been a user of PsP since it first started. The company has grown, with it's user base, from a very simple "newbie program" to a fairly sophisticated software, that IMO, rivals Photoshop. But the user base developed with the software. If I were a total newbie, Psp 8 would be as hard to use as Photoshop. Psp has been successful because they started as simple shareware program, listened to feedback from their users, their customer service is second to none and their user base has grown with them. Unfortunately, CL and it's predecessors may have wasted too much of their reputation on trying to be all things for the community, in too short a period of time. Plus they don't seem to listen very well and have crappy customer service. Frankly, had their been an inexpensive Poser Artist that interfaced with Vue I may well have gone that route! All I ever wanted was a program that could properly pose and then export human and animal models for use in Bryce and Vue. Now....of course.....it's too late. I'm not going a step backward, having invested a huge amount of time and money in Poser 5. Unfortunately, I still can't import a Poser 5 generated .pzz into Vue or Bryce :) I also think lmckenzie is correct about trying to "fix" Poser 5. A total rewrite is probably the sensible way to go....but I think everyone thought that's what Poser 5 was going to be!? CL may have "rolled the dice" one too many times.
