Quote - But still, what's a new Poser release without a ton of complaints! :-)

for the time being, my livelihood is tethered to poser. the success of poser, renderosity, daz, etc is in my best interests.
my 'complaint' is that poser already has a very poor reputation amongst the general 3D communities -- if it wants to draw in a larger audience and be accepted as a viable 3D tool then it needs to clean up, modernize, and start looking more polished. this is definitely not the way to do it.

i had a faint hope that when smith micro took over we might start moving in that direction. i literally recoiled in horror when i saw the 'new poser figures'.

if these are truly 'so easy to improve' - then why the hell didnt their creator or smith micro improve them before releasing them? why release them like this?
