I may be wrong, but I think that Dimension3D has worked on some of the features or content of Poser 8.

If we could have the best features of BB's Poser 8 Library features combined with the best of Dimension3D's XL Library features... THEN... we would have the ideal Poser 8 Library..!

I'm going to tell you something and you may believe it or not, but I swear it is true.

On the very first day I spoke at length to SM about the P8 GUI, before they had actually hired me to do it, I made this suggestion:

Incorporate D3D's XL Library, or one of the other excellent add-ons into Poser as the new library GUI.

I swear, I did. Building a new GUI from scratch is a big effort and I didn't want to work on that. I wanted to work with SM on rendering/lighting/shaders.

They had good reasons for rejecting each of the add-on libraries. Some don't run on Mac, some don't work without a database, some are unable to do Japanese, German, some were written in VB which was not acceptable, etc.

In other words, none of these met the requirements of the customer base as a whole. For most individuals, one of these add-ons is acceptable. For the user community as a whole, not a single one fits.

So, now you have the whole answer, and you have our promise that we understand the shortcomings but these will be remedied in the near future.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
