Quote - Seriously, how d'ya do a combination of Python and C/C++ without adding extra cycles?

Which is kinda my beef as well. Python just isn't practical for a lot of things. Like say if i wanted to write a better joint system or a more advanced posing interface (both of which are much needed in poser), i cant expect the user to wait while the script precalcs the interaction or something. Or jumps to an external app that is outside poser. It has to be done near realtime within the GUI, and that requires compiled code with direct access to Poser's API.

And since i'm hoping, I also want them to adopt Renderman's sl language for custom shaders in firefly. That is supported by most renderman compliant renderers and there is no reason firefly shoudn't.
