I love Poser. I am not only having fun, but I am getting a lot of work done with it (It is not only a hobby for me).
I am NOT dissatisfied with the native Poser figures, or with the Mikis, or the add-on G2 figures. I like them. I use all the human figures with the exception of the extremely Low-Poly figures. I have a preference for Face Room compatible figures. I really appreciate that Smith Micro have made a substantial range of career wear available for the G2 figures, and I hope this will continue with any new figures that are introduced.
I agree about the material room. More presets please. An easier interface to the cloth room too please, more predictability there please.
I would love to be able to search at more places in Poser's interface. For instance, if I have a very full scene, I want to be able to find a prop or figure in the hierarchy view by searching for it by name rather than visually scouring the list. It would be nice to be able to search for a morph as well. I like being able to search for content in the library, but even this can be improved.
Smith Micro should take a good hard look at Content Paradise and the way it is organised. It seems to be an easy entry point for vendors who are just beginning, and there is a lot of good value to be had. But it is too difficult to find the good stuff among the many inferior products there, and the way the products are presented doesn't make it easy to judge the quality. Have a section for bargains and a section for premium content, which has to pass a screening process. For established vendors the approval process can be fast-tracked. Honestly, there are some products there that would scare me away if I were a first time shopper at the site, and if I didn't already have an idea of which vendors provide quality and value.
And I really believe that doing away with the forum at Content Paradise was a very bad move. Give the users a way to interact with the Poser team. The forum at RDNA is a good idea, but it would be more effective and appear more genuine to the users if there was a Poser forum at a Smith Micro-owned site.
