Quote - "Dude - they have like three engineers to build the whole thing including UI, not just the rendering engine, and these guys don't make $200K+ like I do. If you want a great renderer, PAY for it."

Bill, yeah, that sucks, but the customers don't care.

Studio 4 PRO is almost as good as PP 2012 (and in some aspects even better) and new user won't shell out $500 for a new PP 2013/14 if they can have the same for free and better figures on top of that.

People paid for Poser because it could do a lot more things than Studio, so it was the only game in town to create content.

Not anymore.

I'd really like to see Poser survive, but they really have to bring their A-Game this time.

 

As a customer I do care, but I'm also realistic.... I've paid $70 for Poser Pro 2012, so I'm not expecting a top notch rendering engine. I also do believe that the poser team does bring their a-game already. It may not be be what I want or like, but I don't expect them to do what I like or not. But at times, I do wonder what drives these engineers to focus on certain things and then leave other things alone. How do they decide what we want.... or even better who's influencing them to release the features they do. Why did they invest money into a (most likely expensive) crappy library system many users complain about and replace with better ones, while they could have used that money for really needed other improvements and features. Why do they keep on spending money on crappy figures no one wants to use, they could have invested that money into something better. I'm not against them releasing figures, but at least release something good or use the money for something else.

 

Quote - Criticism of Poser = Whining.  Got it.  Thanks.

Thanks for coming down from high on Mount Olympus to put us all in our place, BB.  Please let us know when it's okay for us  to discuss Poser problems.

 

Just ignore him, you're not whining at all, you've got a good number of valid points.

 

Quote - If BagginsBill is going to desert the forums over whining, maybe we need a whine advisory flag? That way we can skip a thread that contributes little to the generally positive nature of the forums?

There's no whining here..... except for one person whining about another persons posts..... nothing new.
