Some reality in the wishing process (and remember, I'm a p5/p6 booster): "I want to start rendering, go get some coffee, and have it be done when I get back." No rendering engine on the market today can do that with any scene. "Make the program more compatible with older computers, like Poser 4." Conflicts with another wish further down. "8. A python script library in the menu bar. " Amen! "Tiered library structure with independent drag-and-drop capabilities..." Would increase the overhead of the program, reducing the available ram for complex scenes. "Dont want to have to license anything from anyone for the face room" You don't have to. DAZ does. My point is to the issue of why knock CL about something someone else needs to do. "MAKE IT WORK WITH GRAPHIC CARDS OR FORGET ABOUT FINISHING IT!" Note the earlier comment, and remember that by so doing, they effectively will cut their available market in half. Ain't gonna happen. "I would like a better library... perhaps using database... " Db's require additional system resources. THis was done recently with Vegas and Acid, and, well, it pretty much doubled effective system overhead. Since we really want to have as much system resources available for rendering (speed and space), we want to reduce overhead, not increase it. "so i can render an army of victoria 4 ultra high geometry resolution with extreme texture 12'000x12'000 pixels." Hee hee -- soon as we hit the 128bit computing level, it'll be a reality, too! "Full compatibility with V3/S3 & M3 in the face room." Again, contact DAZ. My wish list is already in here in other folks threads. Much of what is here, however, forgets that it is too late already for much of this to happen in P6. THey've been working on it for quite a long time already, and featuresets are pretty much given. However, these are all great desires for Poser 7, which has also been started, and is still in the infancy stage. And I'm fairly confident in the current folks there to make it incredibly spiffy. My P6 wishlist: 1 - Point light. 2 - Multiple Undo 3 - Scratch Disks 4 - Network Rendering 5 - Improved collision (and I'm still waiting for someone to provide a good reason to go to OpenGL. In D|S, it works on far fewer computers than Poser does. IT almost always come down to transparency preview, and, well, I'm sorry, but that alone is not enough of a reason to outweigh the things that kill it)
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)
