Quote - *They had a lot of time to work on the code between aquiring it from Efrontier and the Poser Pro release, and all in all I'm not tremendously impressed with the direction they decided to take. There are some real issues with Poser that haven't been addressed since version 5, and I guess I'm not nearly as optimistic as you are concerning future development considering what they've done so far.
It's a shame the Poser dev team chose this direction. Hell, Poser Pro could've been an app like Messiah.
Actually though I'm rather glad things worked out the way they did, if I can get FAST up and running I can finally do what I've wanted to do for years, get rid of the windows installation on my hard drive compeletely and run Linux. That has been the biggest holdup for me, there really aren't any good 3d rendering apps that run natively in Linux.
I was stuck with windows for two reasons and two reasons only, 3d rendering and the wife, who is not yet ready to make the Linux leap. Well, I bought the wife a laptop and setup a wifi network, so she no longer uses my desktop and she's happy as a clam. Which just leaves hurdle number two :)
-Never fear, RenderDog is near! Oh wait, is that a chew toy? Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
