hi Schlabber,

welcome back, and congratulations with the whole family. Now, not having more time for Poser is your own fault, isn't it :thumbupboth: ?

Personally, I'm not in the need for more poses as such, they are so much good enough freebies an cheap good enough packs around nowadays, just for that. But from someone like you who's really into poses I would appreciate

 - to learn how to make poses and animation moves that look real. Like for carrying weight, leaning to a wall, whatever. As so many poses seem to be cartoon like, and forget that we live in a gravity world, although Poser is hardly supporting weight itself. 

 - to learn, and get resources for, the muscle morphs that come with that. the 'muscle tone' it what I miss in most posing images, Vicky can do the most tough things but no muscle tension shows up. Also keeping balance in still situations can require severe muscle puling and stretching, bit the models hardly show any.

 - to have poses and moves (and muscle tones) for non-perfect characters. Forget about those Vickys and Michaels. Finally we're seeing proper characters for elder figures, but we don't have the poses and moves. Thin or obese people have different bone-bending limits, and will keep balance in different ways. Same for the muscled and hulky warriors around, and for the elves and dwarfs. And how about the pregnant, the crippled, the lame and the orc? Kids are not just scaled down adults. Pose - to me - means character, personality. Poser can give us a walk cycle, but not a limping one. And then I'm talking humanoids only, not even animals.

Hence, I'm very interested, but not in more of the same. I prefer low volume high quality. I prefer to learn, instead of to download. But that's just me.

I know you can do it.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
