Well I've been using Poser for like 9 or 10 years now and I've been thinking this whole time that it should have a better this, that, and everything else, and yet every new "improvement" is something half-assed tacked on.

But hey, people use it, people figure it out, people manage to force it to do stuff it doesn't want to do, so if you enjoy that, have at it.

If you want to give the makers a good idea, tell them to ditch Firefly. Compared to modern render engines, it really sucks. That's the heart of it all. As long as the render engine sucks, you might as well forget about SSS or anything else but some hacked in faked workaround.
