Quote - Heh the "Wow Poser 5" feeling was very quickly overpowered by the "OMG WHAT A BUGGY PoS" - Poser 5 was, regardless )or perhaps because of...) all the new features close to useless most of the time for so many people that the recent Poser 8 problems seems insignificant.
PERSONALLY I must have some sort of Poser Guardian Angel sitting on my shoulder, because I've never had any major problems with new versions - but to say that nothing happened since Poser 5 tells me.. well... no. I won't go there.
WHY is it so hard to believe/understand that Poser 8 is for a great part a TOTAL CORE REWRITE? This is why it can be FASTER than its predecessors. This is why the renderer is faster. This is why the library has changed. It's because, for once, it is a REWRITE, not just clamping new things on the old Poser 4 engine.
So naturally there will be a relatively larger amount of bugs in this release. It's like a new program.
And yes. Some people have big problems with Poser 8. I feel sorry for them. But the majority of users do NOT have a lot of problems. We're just not as vocal about it - quite naturally. The people who have problems, seek out forums for a solution. The ones who does not have problems are busy making pictures with their new toy instead.
So why am I here so much you may ask? Well because I'm here while Poser is rendering. And here during work hours where I can get online from my trains but not play with Poser (My netbook is good but not really suited for Poser although it runs on it - besides... I'm supposed to be checking tickets and whatnot when at work L) But I'm not here because my Poser 8 doesn't work. Because.. it does!
Trekkie Girl said "This is why the library has changed". I hope that she's not referring to the early signs of the evolving redundancy of OUR libraries (content) that we've spent YEARS building.
