Quote -  you actually  wont have "Full Integration" of Poser content in Lightwave
from the language it is clear that  this is the Old Propack4 "Hosting Plugs updated
Meaning you Do everything in poser and Host the scene in LW ,MAX ,C4D etc, to render only

Any changes required??
 you go back to poser and redo and 'rehost "or hit update button in "host" application.

Interaction with LW powerful cloth engine ?......NO

import of Poser Shaders..??..........  not mentioned  in the specs so Highly unlikely

Newtek releases a point upgrade( LW 9.7.9 or whatever) and your hosting plugin stops working
..........VERY Likely

But its bettter that nothing for you who dont have Cinema4D and the true COMPLETE solution of Interposer pro

 

tsk tsk tsk -- such pessimism on display.

As I've hinted once or twice already -- I won't make any final judgements until the package is actually out, and I've had the chance to try it.  Until then, I won't be making assumptions about all aspects of what it will and will not do.  I certainly won't be making those assumptions in a negative direction.

Who knows?  Perhaps there will be "full integration".  However you choose to define the term.  We'll wait and see.  Or at least I'll wait and see.

I've considered getting C4D + Bodypaint.  So I won't be slamming that app.  But LW is a great app, too.  And much better represented in certain aspects of the industry.

I've never quite grasped why things always have to be defined in terms of an either / or choice.  Like you can ONLY have C4D -- or you can ONLY have Lightwave.  I'm sure that C4D with Transposer is the hot setup.  So's Lightwave.

I choose to take the optimistic view of things: so this new edition of Poser will probably work well with both apps.
