Oh, and kawecki kept erroneously calling the Poser server API "RPC", which stands for Remote Procedure Call. As WandW pointed out, there's nothing "remote" about it. The server will not accept any requests from outside your computer. It only answers to localhost requests.

This means it will only talk to programs you already have on your computer. If you already have a dangerous program on your computer, you're already dead. Such a program doesn't need Poser's help to cause trouble. Even if it wanted to, the worst it could do is cause Poser to prompt you to create a folder or save a prop or material or something, or load content. It cannot write anything on its own. The only things that are possible via the API are to load content or prompt you to save something.

Now I'm absolutely done defending the Poser API and architecture. As I've said before, I have learned it is completely pointless to discuss SM's architectural decision making with users. You guys are not my customer. SM is my customer and I do what they ask me to do, no more, no less. Moreover, every time I have discussed this subject in the past, it became a stupid pissing match where nonsense is written. It's a waste of time.

Buy it or don't buy it. If you want it different, please contact SM. It's not my product.

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)
