Quote - To be fair, unlike some other apps, there are only 4 controls (half of which, i.e. 2, are hidden) precisely because of a recognition of the Poser market. We can't expect the typical Poser customer to grok 21 GI parameters. Two, OK. So they get two, and there are two more hidden away for us geeks.
The priniciple difference that I see after looking at the GI controls and options in some other apps is that Poser will avoid grainy results without the user having to do a lot of tweaking. Some of the other apps you have to decide which Monte Carlo method to use, which interpolation method to use, which caching methods to use, blah blah blah. I think when all the kinks are worked out, Poser's GI will not be the greatest there is, but it will have the smallest learning curve.
Yeah, I can see that.
I have this habit of forgetting it's being designed for a very specific market with very specific general needs, who want very specific results, and those who want more are comparatively few.
