Quote - Dear Poser Team:
- Forget the technical and feature wishlists. Focus on figures that are* actually worth a fuck.* Stop re-hashing the zygote mesh - Chris Creek is an awesome mesh-slinger, but you're continually recycling stuff that he made over a decade ago. Stop doing that.
Build two meshes from scratch (one female, one male). Make them fully accurate to basic anatomy, and build them to utilize all of Poser's features. Make them more flexible and more morphable than the Genesis figure. Give them working genitals - that alone would make them stand out beyond anything DAZ will do.
Oh, and don't outsource it this time either. The RDNA guys are okay, but you need that shit done in-house, by a full-time employee or three. Spend some actual time and work on it - at least as much time as you spend on the code! One of the reasons that DAZ steals your lunch-money and shags your girlfriend in this department is because you're too hyper-focused on the application to bother spending any time on the figures at all. I don't have to guess - it shows!
If you can do this work, then the figures won't be yet another perfunctory afterthought that litters the runtimes, yanno?
PS: Make a native Linux version already you lazy bastards! Coding towards Ubuntu or a similar Debian-based distro will suffice nicely. :)
Again, pretty much what I've been saying. Except for the Linux bit.
