I am totally in agreement with Blackhearted on this issue.

I love Poser. No argument about that. I have spent five years running a site and making my entire income off Poser. It is in my direct and personal selfish interest that Poser does well, that it breaks into the "Pro" arena, that it becomes more widely used, and that the company and program have a strong and prosperous future.

My problem is that Poserpro is aimed at the professional market. It offers integration with high end programs. Great. So these high end users may decide to give it a try, and if they like it, we have more users, a bigger market, and more money flows to Smith Micro to spend on Poser and it's development.

So if they had asked, I am sure that many of the highly talented people on this forum would have offered help, could have modelled better figures, could have written python scripts to ship with the program, could have tested integration and workflow with programs that high end users use, like ZBrush, Mudbox, etc.

I am not breaking down Poser, or Smith Micro, I am just expressing my dissapointment that once again, an opportunity to really improve Poser, to lift it out of it's "Poser is a ghetto" category, has been squandered on small things, such as these new figures.

I bet if he had been asked, Blackhearted, or many of the other fine modellers on this forum would have jumped at the chance to help on PoserPro. The owners of Poser, the people who run the show, have repeatedly said in forums and in interviews that the strong point of Poser is in it's very knowledgeable and professional user base. So maybe it is time for the makers of Poser to put their money where their mouth is, and to start leveraging the talents and skills freely available in these forums, and to start getting that highly knowledgeable user base involved in the development of Poser.
