Quote - Roll all of that into a new set of SM figures, that are well designed and error-proofed, and add some good supporting content from SM to get the ball rolling, and I think folks might be surprised at just how much potential there would be for real vendor support to follow it. It won't happen over night of course. The stigma of Poser natives being badly designed would take time to wear off, but that just makes it all the more important for SM's next set of figures to be that much better. It's not an impossible task, it just takes determination. The supporting content already exists in the Poser library, it would just need updating to work with the new figures. A fresh coat of paint on an old house can do wonders for its curb appeal. 

THIS has been my argument for years!

IF the support were to include a set of base clothing meshes, textures in white that could then be easily colored in the material room... WOW! Poser would suddenly become a killer suite right out of the box!

(And btw... the expansions don't have to ship with Poser. The could be put iun place the day of Poser's release on CP is SM wants more money out of the project...)

The question is simply, will they follow this line of reasoning?

Several things Teyon has hinted at give me hope. He posted just up the thread that he is listening!
