"Do I remember rightly, that when CL bought Poser they didn't know about HAIR until someone from Renderosity told them?" The original functionwas added into the code in Poser 4 during the metacreations days. Since CL was comprised of prinicpally the same folks who did that work, it's sorta hard to think of them not knowing about something they added. However, this was not something that had been developed out yet, and it's possible the original roadmap was lost. However: The Community itself didn't know about this feature until it was explored and partially exploited by the above tool and its' creator.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
