@ JoePublic: Dear Lord, man... It's Monday morning, and you're still going out of your way to bad-mouth a program? Please, stop. It's beginning to embarrass the rest of us. Give it a rest... you've sunk to the point of inventing "problems" now just so you can claim superiority of the proggie you've chosen to stick with. What you're pointing at so excitedly are nitpicks, not deal-breakers. Perfect anagram: Vista bogs down computers that otherwise run faster with OSX on the same equivalent hardware... that's a deal-breaker for some. While Apple has competitively-priced hardware spec-for-spec, it's always higher-end spec... that's a deal-breaker for some. But... the average user doesn't know about or give a damn about the differences between UAC and graphical sudo (Apple's equivalent), and so spending hours upon hours arguing about them to convince some newbie to buy either a Mac or a new Windows box w/ Vista is not only silly... it's pointless fanboyism. Arguing over the overall direction you think (rightly or wrongly) each OS maker wants to take is silly, because unless you're Microsoft or Apple (or worked for either one of them directly), you simply have no clue what their visions are. Arguing over them to the extreme that you have is even dumber. It's real simple: If you don't like a program, then simply do not use it. The poor bastard who started this thread has prolly ran off into the night, screaming in terror that he's going to have to learn all of this or else never be able to use the thing. If you think the V4 file is too big and complex, then don't use it. Build your own figure, use one of Poser's default figures (RDNA supports them, as do a few others)... but really, you're arguing against logic now. I mean, when you write things like this:
Quote - If you need a fully articulated "super tounge" for a fetish or fantasy render, why not make a conforming tounge figure?
WTF? You think everyone should modify their workflow and have extra parts lying around the Runtime directory just so you can claim some sense of uber-l33t h4x0r type of improvisational superiority? EasyPose was a hack (albeit a good hack), and not The Way Forward (tm, pat. pending, etc). (Animating speech in a portrait figure requires some hella flexible tongue control so that it doesn't make the thing look like some cheap extension of Jabba The Hutt's arms... So what if it's a bigger .cr2 file? Deal.) 'k, morning ciggie is done. I'm off to work. Feel free to blow a couple of hours in replying if you wish... I'm done in this mess for awhile. /P
