"Well, from a usability standpoint it's probably a major issue. I wonder how many potential users have abandoned Poser because one of the fundamental facets of the interface was incomprehensible."

I look at it like oil painting.. there are people who think it should be done only ONE way. But the beauty of the medium is that it can be done many different ways.

Its the same thing with poser.. you COULD be locked into very limited encoded content, but instead, it can be done many different ways, and used and modified many different ways.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
