I would like to have a painting room with some drawing and painting tools to allow direct modification to the surface maps etc. Great for makeup, tatoos etc.

Also, as the app is capable of rendering in buckets, how about some simple way of distributing the rendering load across several machines arranged as a rendergarden.

Figures: Publish a set of standardised bones and sections ( head, torso arms etc) under a royalty free licence as the start of a standard setting exercise, then let anyone develop meshes for them. This should facilitate swapable body parts.

I still like Posette. Boost the no of polys a bit and give her a decent hi res skin and violá.

I'm not sure if its workable, but could Poser incorporate 3rd party renderers like vray or maxwell ?
