Interfaces for 3D apps do seem to be about as idiosyncratic as you can get. Everyone seems to have a slightly different way of accomplishing the same thing. As long as you can settle on one, choice is always a good thing. It's true what one person grasps easily seems muddled to another. I do wonder though, how much these companies invest in the type of usability testing that others do. Some of them have faces that only their original creator could consider intuitive IMO. I wasn't trying to compare Poser to other applications, just a specific function in Poser that other applications also have but implement differently. I agree that Poser should stay Poser and not try to become Maya or Max. A smooth pipeline to Shade and Vue is a much better strategy. I suspect that Daz should've concentrated on making better models as well but it's their money. If Daz, CL, the Vue folks and the Shade folks could all cooperate in a joint manner, they might be the AMD of 3D.
