Well, this may not be a particularly popular statement but Vue's shader system is easier to understand than Poser's and Vue is a significantly more complicated program. Yet, their shader system is fairly straight forward. Perhaps in the background where we can't see exactly what's going on, Poser's shader system and Vue's shader system work in a similar fashion. That's all fine and dandy if the implementation is something that people can easily grasp (especially in a program geared toward the hobbyist like Poser). People shouldn't have to be slamming their heads against the desk trying to figure out how to make a decent shader.

My 2 cents ;).
