To Jules53757:
Sorry you misunderstood...I am NOT against improvement or growth. I don't expect support or sympathy and if i had the good fortune to be the proud owner of an original Model-T I would drive it all the time beaming with pride at my good fortune.

I was refering to the responses by:
JOELGLAINE, and bagginsbill    to SmallSpace's question which though he unforgivably failed to follow the whole thread asked a perfectly appropriate question.

Now getting back to your "florid" reply to me...for the record I own P5/P6/P7. I have the latest version of Carrara and Bryce and hexagon, the last version of DAZ Studio and own thousands of dollars of DAZ, CP, Rosity and RDNA stuff including all the most recent DAZ Gen4 series figures etc. and I am depressed as hell not being able to use them....and NOT as you so simply and erroneously put it against  "improvements" to Poser figures.

Unfortunately I can not afford a newer box to run all my great NEW and IMPROVED stuff on. So I am stuck in my P4 time warp trying to make the best of what I gotta work in. I am an illustrator and frustrated photographer and graphic designer and learned to do it right in analog and self taught to do the same digitally.
And taking a look at my older work here and my newer stuff at DevianArt and at Signature Erotic Art (where I just sold two limited edition prints) I seem to be doing something right enough even working out of that creative death trap otherwise known as Poser 4! Getting acrosd the finish line in my Model-T is more important to me than racing across it half-assed in a new Mustang!
Can you make the same claim I wonder?  :)

What frustrates me is the bashing (or was that sarcastic slashing) of guys like or unlike me who either do not know what all the fancy bells and whistles of the newer apps are or have not figured them out or are in fact still stuck in older versions of the apps. Really annoying to read posts belittling them and their requests or questions. I remain true to my earlier post scorning the jibes and subtle "bashing" as I read them and understood them...from whomever they came.

Afterall we can't all be digital geniuses like some of the true pros here doing a great job for the rest of us wanna-be's to drool over. if I could I would but I can't wrap my older brain around what I need to to make it all happen so I won't.
One thing I do know is that looking at many images from supposed advanced Poser Users in this huge community, I feel I do a better job working my antiquated "Magic" out of the older version.

To Fisty:

Thanks dear you are a lady!
Working in P4 for a very long time and preferring to avoid doing too much post work I have figured out little tricks to get around all that. It takes forever to get an image prepped in P4 as you ALL know but to attempt to do so and render it with as little post work needed is a true effort in stupidity...or is that creative intestinal fortitude!  You come up with your own answer.

To ODF:
I love this figure and wish DAZ and some of the figure creators took as much time working their magic before releasing them and sticking their hands in our pockets. It is refreshing what you and some other great technicians and artist here and elsewhere do to make this stuff better. I really appreciate it and look forward to its completion....even if I can't use her right away in P4!  :)
