R Hatch - I'm glad you understand my frustration. It's hard learning something new, but unless there are some major changes coming soon for Poser models, I may have to try something else like 3D Max, but even that has some drawbacks for content. You would think there would be at least 3 new female and male figures each year given the amount of money that can be made from a good figure design and community support. It's hard for me to believe we are still using the very limited S3 and V3 figures to this date! I want to push realism, my system is more than capable with 2GB of Corsair XMS PRO, 1 terabyte of storage, etc. to run off complex renders. That's why it's hard to understand the lack of innovation. One would think that as hardware gets increasingly more advcanced you would see the software step up for the programs and MODELS. Take ANY current female Poser figure as an example. You have to make some hacks to them for a non generic ken and barbie. Then it doesn't really make much difference because of the way they were designed to begin with. Doesn't have to be erotic, just take nudes as another example. You can have any of the current female figures look right when sitting casually in the nude. The pubic area and thighs are not even close to being real looking. Just look at a basic female nude and then at your figure, doesn't even come close for detail in those areas. Do you think there is any hope in the near future for Poser figures or would you consider looking elsewhere for better advancment and if so what (i.e. 3D Max)?
