Quote - Your oh so clever observations about sexism and the effects of gravity on water are about as relevant to that as the latest exploits of Paris Hilton are to the political situation in Rwanda.

Lol.. theirs a great visual - Paris Hilton in Rwanda - "Wow, that's hot.  BANG!  Wow, that hurts."  Lol...

Quote - My point, in case you've missed it in the last five pages, is that the program has stagnated, nearly to the point of anthropy. It has hit a serious plateau in development. It's gotten boring. And if you cant understand why that's happened, then there's no point in telling you. You'll simply sit there and sing LALALALA even more loudly.

I agree that the software itself has hit a plateau in development, but I'm not sure if that's really something that can be placed at the feet of the community as a whole.  That really has more to do with the developers (past and current) of the Poser program itself.

Quote - So go buy another V4 character. Do it with my blessing. It only continues the stagnation, which, I gather, you like because, for you, that's all this program is about: making pictures of pretty girls. And hurrah for you if thats the case. But some of us would like to see this program doing more. Some of us would like to see the community as fertile with ideas as it was five years ago. Some of us would like to see Poser become innovative again, not merely decorative as it is now.

But sadly I think again this really isn't going to be possible given the inherint limiations of the current software, and it doesn't realy look like SM is interested in addressing those limitaitons, rather it has chosen to try to integrate Poser with other, much more expensive 3d apps instead. 

Quote - Of course, saying this to you is indeed like forcing water uphill. You dont want to get it. You're looking for cheap jokes, so please, make a few more. You'll simply underscore again and again why IMHO this community, such as it is anymore, just isnt worth it.

I am sorry you feel that way, at least for my part.  No, I don't think that anything you've said here today will influence the market in any way, the plain and simple truth is only money does that.  But I do see the point your attempting to make and I certainly do understand your feelings in this regard.

-Never fear, RenderDog is near!  Oh wait, is that a chew toy?  Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
