heyas; my point: if poser did all those things that the 1200$ plug in for the 3400$ 3d app did, it would COST as much as the 1200$ plug in AND 3400$ app. there have been wish lists and such for poser 4 and 5, where these types of things have been discussed. gravity, collision detection, volumetric lighting, etc etc etc etc. the more of this 'fancy' stuff you put in, the more the sucker is gonna cost. personally, i prefer the cheap price and standard poser workings. some of these could be improved, yes. many people in the poser community are working to improve them, as they are now. there's new joints for the female figures, at least, that work better than the standard joint parameters. we developed joint controlled morphing for more realistic musculature action. we've fiddled and morphed and remapped and re-cut and did plenty of improvements to many standard figures. and i'm sure curious labs is always striving to improve their product. you may not realize that your letter to curious labs and your requests are not new. many people have asked for similar things. but they are working on poser as it is, for the niche it is in, and they have a pretty clear idea where they are headed. i'm sure they appreciate your ideas and input as well as everybody else's, but that doesn't mean they can implement everything you would like.
