Yeah, you always gotta have backups when you're working with Poser.  Sometimes it seems like it was put together sideways, or maybe it's held together with paperclips and sticky tape, for all the weird bugs and odd behaviors it displays.  I keep having this problem when working on projects, which I call the "Just one more thing..." problem.  Work for hours on something, finally make some breakthrough with the project so it represents what you consider the best result you're likely to get.  That point would be where one should save the file and keep that copy as a backup, right?  But Cage keeps deciding, "Let's just try one more quick thing."  Maybe it's a (presumably) quick cloth simulation.  Or cleaning up a couple of the shaders, trying to collapse them into those fancy, new Compund Node thingies.  Something that should be simple and quick, and if Poser is truly stable and reliable and really has the capabilities they advertised when they sold it to you, doing this thing should pose no problems at all.

You know what happens next, of course.  That one last thing crashes Poser, or causes Poser to swap around all the carefully-devised shaders on the figures, or something weird and unexpected.  Work is lost.  Small objects get thrown across rooms.  Usually there is cursing.  The worst part, for Cage, isn't the lost work.  It isn't the loss of trust in Poser, the disruption of the creative workflow, the self-loathing that follows these episodes of seething hate and rage, nothing like that.  The worst part is that Cage knows he's going to have to go talk to the $^#(*%!!!~ Poser Customer Support threshold guardian.  Again.  Tarim's Teeth in a bucket, I hate talking to Poser Customer Support.  :cursing:

Always back up your stuff.  I repeat that here, hoping that I will remember it.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
