BTW I am not knocking DAZ or Carrara6 Pro
that "situation" will workout or become old and forgotten.
Im just *"poking fun"*you might say, at those rebellious poser users
who claim they want to "leave poser" but take all or most of poser with them
to their savior app.
sort of like the teenager who hates living under his parents "restrictions"
but when he "moves out" he is horrified to learn that he will not only have to cook his own pancakes but will have to stir his own batter as well.
Ive observed this phenomenon for years and frankly have concluded
that anyone who truly wants to leave poser for another 3D Character app has done so.
the problem arises when on attaches ones heart to certain Functions features and attributes
of certain specific "character figures"
Such as The Ubiquitous "V"Chick
There is a person (whom's name I wont mention)
who has spent the last three years or so franticly seeking advice on
which high end application he should jump to to rid himself of the
oh so slow "firefly" renderer in poser.
but despite all the well documented testimony of users of those high end apps
despite the fact that these apps are largely responsible for some of the more extraordinary
CG seen in hollywood movies etc.
for this individual it always gets reduced to ***"can it (MAYA.Max ,XSI,LW et al )
bring over my beloved "V" chick with her dynamic
hair, morph dials and firefly/python based skin shaders for rendering her Nakkid closeups".
Then there are the dial turners who become shocked and mortified at the sight of any
character app that does not have "Dials" identical to poser .
"will my poser canned light sets transfer over
to (fill in the blank app_________ )"
This "concern" amazes me the most.
the primary reason IMHO that poser renderer is so weak/slow
is that its still tied to a very primitive lighting system.
but again instead of learning the superior lighting of the new application
some prefer to force it to use the ones from poser.
***"My certain sexy outfit for Bel Bel ( Yack!!) wont work in this other app due to its magnets
or pose handle etc." or Apollo's proprietary poser based "ADS scalers" wont function in
(fill in the blank app_________ )
Again one who is truly serious about "moving beyond" poser needs to accept that all these
"features" that are so hard wired to poser will NEVER completely export over to another application despite the gratuitous claims of those promoting this fantasy.
