Geep - couldn't agree more, lol, the perfect example of the time-honored art of yanking an entire groups' chain...with the following proviso...

Poser software has been in bad need of clean-up for ages. I like the program, I've learned to live with its foibles, but I still swear at it on a regular basis. Like virtually all 3D softwares out there, there are way too many things that have been left uncorrected and unimproved while jamming it/them full of still new "features." 

As for C4D, I bought R9 4-1/2 years ago, the top of the line version, for approx. $3000. Now it would cost me $3000 to upgrade to R11. I don't have that kind of pocket change, lol. And for "professional" software C4D's documentation is as lacking as any I've seen from Hash, trueSpace, Bryce, or Poser. I was reading just yesterday in the Carrara forum, and they seem to have their own collection of software issues.

As for more professional software doing this? The ability to handle Poser content (or D/S for that matter) is only part of the issue ... apparently no else's software does all the things that Poser does. Contrary, there are things I can do in Bryce and Vue that Poser can't touch; I've never seen a better solid modeler than C4D's and it's got a billion little piece-of-crud errors in it.  The sculpture-based modelers are supposed to be wonderful, but I am always reading about the end results being converted to .OBJ and being shipped to a better renderer or someplace/something else for this-that-or-the-other final touch up.

I don't think there's a perfect 3D software in existence ... Guess I will just have to win the lottery and try them all.
