those suggestions about stuff poser really needs were kinda pointless, because they cant really change stuff they havent coded themselfs, or things which have natively no 64 bit support at all.

the poser we all know now, including the "pro" version is just the old curious labs core application (maybe even older...maybe even that thing is 3rd party XD) with tons of 3rd party "plugins" ductaped onto it with quite some spagetticode.    stuff like the faceroom, material editor, dynamic cloth/hair , firefly are things which got licensed by the creators of poser from 3rd party producers. the poser programmers dont really have any access to 64 bit applications of those "plugins" because the original programming companies of those elements havent updated their programs to 64 bit support, or it is just not possible, or the companys originaly created some of posers "features" just went out of business. the poser guys just use the stuff as it is provided, fiddling some code hook to connect it to the rest of the poser chassis code and call it a feature. yeah, the only thing which got 64bit support by now is the firefly render engine which is quite a joke.   what poser REALLY needs is a team of programmers coding that whole mess new, from scratch, with own, implemented render engine, material room and so on, which would actually work as one piece instead of just "working together", and supports todays 64 bit consumer marked hardware.   the reason it still runs rather crappy even on a behemoth of a pc is the fact that poser doesnt really use the recources todays pc´s have...  it just hogs cpu time and about 2 gigs of ram... with 8 gigs it would not use more than 3 gigs of ram, no gpu, or direct 3d support.... no support for todays technology, poser kinda roams around in the 1990´s tech wise

but then again... we all should stop whining, because a poser with such features, totally inhouse built , would cost at least 3-4 times the money and programmer know how than it does now
