I can't figure out the D/S UI but I sure miss the Poser 2 GUI. I would wish that interfaces were about being "transparent" and conserving screen space not about "branding" or hipsterism. There is something to say for the fact that aside from Poser I can run people through everything they need to do in most Windows programs over the phone without having a computer open.... last week I successfully ran some one through Power Point over the phone even though I had never used the program.... the GUI is standard enough that I "found" everything on the first or second try sight unseen.
I wish there was a simpler Photoshop type interface for Poser that used tabbed palletes more effectivly and had no "artistic" design to it. I run my PCs with the Win98 theme... and I wish I could find a Lynx browser for my OS. In my experience (as a user and a graphic and GUI designer) design tends to be about the designer not the user and a company will stick to an aweful UI for the sake of brand identity-- but then people use Photoshop and its design doesn't "assert itself" at all.
If anyone ever sells a replacement for the Poser GUI and "libraries" interface I will be first in line to buy.
