So could anyone tell me about an openGL app that shows a preview with >textures and transmaps, and doesn't bogs or slows down too much my >medium range computer ? There are many programs that use OpenGL previews very well, including Lightwave, Maya, XSI and Max. It's this level of live interaction, among many other things, that set these applications apart from the other 3D apps. Vue does such a horrible job with OpenGL I'm surprised they even claim to use it. Poser clearly has a user base, but it's a pretty niche market. Poser is in no shape to be used in most professional workflows, and to make it so would change it enough that it would no longer be an appealing tool to it's current users. This would be suicide for the product. I think whoever owns Poser now should focus on this current user base and it's needs, make the program easier to use, and rewrite it from scratch with solid and lean code so it functions smoother and quicker. Priority 2 would be to add highly functional tools for custom content creators. These are far more important than more half-ass attempts at new features.
