I respect vilters opinion.. but I call BS on this post.  All these 'forget its' have been standard fare on the main figures that all the 'hobby' users have been gobbling up since the beginning.  I agree from an elegance standpoint a lot of those 'forget its' are nice, and you can certainly appreciate a quality mesh and rig, but most of those are circumvented with the primary thing the 1 hour a day hobby users needs and wants.... Available pre-sets, poses and other content.  The 1 hour a day user doesnt know or care how complex the figure's rigging is, so long as they have a set of poses that makes the posed figure look the way they want.  Does the 1 hour a day care about quads or tris or poly count or topology... for the most part I'd say no.  They care about how their renders come out and if the pre-sets asre available to click-load-render something nice then the complexity/quality of the figure that gets them theres doesn't matter.  Are helper bones, jcms or magnets 'forget about its' to the average poser user.. of course not, because they are generally automatic and the basic user has no need to play with them at all.  A nice looking bend looks the same in a render no matter how it gets made.

 

Quote - The hobby user.

Poser has a lot of hobby users.

They have an average of ONE free hr a day to "do" something in/for/around  Poser.

Spend that time on ?????????
And tomorrow ??
They"ll start with a fresh screen.

If you make your figure/model too big, too large, too complicated?
Forget it.

If your clothing does not fit the first second?
Forget it.

If they have to spend hrs to get a bad rig right?
Forget it.

They "only" have some hobby money to spend. Most survive on free stuff.
If you can not build a quality reputation with your free stuff?
Forget it.

JCM's, hidden bones, hidden geometry? Hidden anything?
Forget it.

If Poser want to stay a 3D for the home user.
It is more then time to go BTB.
Back To Basics is some critical area's.

I see lots of people go.
And that hurts.

I see lots of users struggle.
And that hurts.

I see lots of people asking the same and same questions over and over again.
Does that not ring a bell????

Poser is too low end for the professionals.
But it's becoming way to complicated for the poor lonesome home hobby user.
And they move on to something else.

I posted a free Hexagon tutorial for Poser.
Even that simple and free way to build characters has become too complicated.

Or does "creativity" end with some blind-minded dial spinning?

Is that really all that is left?

Then the end is near my friends.
