Ok, here's the thing....(yeah, I know I say that a lot...lol):
You have different types of users who use Poser. The click-clickers who want it so simple as to be ridculous. You know the type - the Click, Pose, Render people. I was one for way too long.
But you also have a huge group of Poser "tinkerers". People who use Poser a lot, maybe even use it most, but who also use other programs, are not ignorant of other 3D software and who want OPTIONS. I fall into this group. I model, I morph, I texture, I create scenes, I render. I even use the cloth room (shocker!!).
Is it a valid argument to say that no one should bother with exporters and scripts and plugins because most Poser people won't understand how to use it? That Firefly is "good enough"? I apologize ahead of time, but that's complete and utter bullshit ;o. That's like saying why bother with toilet paper when you can use the phone book. What if no one understood or figured out how to implement JCM's? ERC? Geometry switching? Those were folks who actually used their brains ;o). What about bagginsbill? I'd like to borrow his brain for awhile (tho it may kill me) so that I could have the thoughts rolling around that he has. The improvements. The innovations. Not because they're easy. But because they expand what we can do.
