Good questions, let me clarify. File formats have nothing to do with my previous statement. For example, both Poser and Blender can read and write OBJ files. In fact the OBJ file is at the core of Poser's workflow. Nevertheless the user experience with Poser and Blender is completely different and many Poser users would rather seat on the dentist chair than use Blender to pose a figure :)

For decades artists had the ability to model using the well-known polygon but it wasn't until ZBrush arrived that we had digital sculpting. The User Experience is what makes ZBrush so powerful. Its tools, and how the problem of sculpting is approached make it possible to create the models that were not possible before. When you look at the files on disk at the end it's the same .OBJ file format used by many other apps. It's how you get there that is making the difference.

Reality is all about the User Experience and how we get the results from the scene created, in this case, with Poser to the final product in Lux. In that regard I believe that my tool stand on its own.

 

Hope this helps.

no since I don't speak marketing hyperbole. do you speak plain english?
