Poser is far from professional.

1) It tries to communicate via winsock and it's not even going out to the internet. This is called a "hack job".  Imagine a giant bandaid over poser splash screen when you first fire it up.

2) It uses valuable CPU resources rendering the slow & clunky interface.

3) It takes a million years for objects to become visible in the library pallette.

4) Poser wasn't designed for a HUGE library, it's a mom & pop app for people who have like 5 figures and a hat.

  1. There isn't a button that allows you to turn off all IK. You have to go one by one and turn them all off which takes at least 10-20 seconds.  It gets annoying after a while.

6) Models break in the arms all the frickin time and I have to do symmetry to repair the broken geometry.  I

7) Poser crashes often with heavy use. I have to save every 5 minutes to be safe.

8) The basic preview render is slow & clunky and it's difficult to move objects around.

9) Even if you turn on fast mode there is always a GIANT box in your way so you have to waste all your time finding out which object is the box to make it invisible.

Man I could go on & on ........

Poser is a perfect example of building a temple on shifting sand.  This app should of been completely re-written A LONG TIME AGO!

Instead they are piling on brick after brick on a foundation built on MUD and feces.
