queri, I sympathize with your pain. One thing you may fail to understand is that I don't want to spend all my time fixing someone else's work. I'd rather spend some time using Poser and making "pretty pictures." As it stands, I've spent far too much time in the past 2 years fixing bad texture and geometry references and dealing with the problems created by that struggle. Oh, then I spend even more time fixing bump maps because far too many artists fail to do that properly. I submit to you that there is nothing wrong with having different levels of Poser users: 1.) People who literally can make every element themselves. (They should learn to accept the fact that not everyone has the ability or desire to do this). 2.) People who may have the time and patience to fiddle with stuff and fix it. 3.) People who just want to get to the point and use the stuff to make art. I know "real world" analogies don't always work, but let's try one anyway: If I buy a brand new car, it should work "out of the box." I shouldn't need to tune up the engine, or finish the paint job. I should just be able to drive it. Now if I bought a "kit car," or a used car, I might do so knowing that the car needed some work to get into shape for driving. I prefer to buy the new car that is ready to run. Take that to the bank, and accept it. Then proceed from there. PS, please remember it's perfectly acceptable for us to use "aliases or screen names" here. There is no need to take it any further than that. It's just common courtesy. And I shouldn't have to keep saying that.
