Quote - why do they have a poser option and promote it when it dosn't even work then?

now i cant finnish my project i was working on 

 

First, it does work, but it works with issues and is speratic in doing so. Second, you have to know how to work around all these issues. For some things you can and others you can not. An example is the "Poser Shader Tree" issues I found. When Neil at e-on and myself went through all the problems, the only work around was to NOT use that option when importing. Instead, you will need to tweak all of your materials for your Poser PZ3 import by hand. You can't really group them together if you want to tweak individial materials so it takes a VERY long time to work through them all. If it worked, it would save you a lot of time for your scenes.

The issues with OOM are random, sometimes it is OK other times it will crash. Neil told me they knew about this one and the latest SDK from Smith Micro they used for Vue 8.x was to blame. He also said there was no "official" support for Poser Pro at all at that time. Instead, using Poser 7 to import Poser Pro 7 or Poser 8 to import Poser Pro 2010 may or may not work. I found it all depended on certain things and Poser Pro 2010 would not work at all for me with that version of Vue.

The one thing I do NOT understand is how you can charge that much for your software and still be depending upon another company for an SDK to use with your program. Other companies do it better or at least have more 3rd party options. One company that gets it right most all the time is C4D and I have not had issues with Poser imports with them at all. I tried to get an answer from e-on as to why they don't write their own Poser import code and have full control of it. I don't think e-on will ever give a good answer for that one.
