I notice that a few of the newer features could be improved somewhat.

  1. When copying morphs or weights from one X-symmetrical actor to another X-symmetrical actor, shouldn't the result be symmetrical?  We know Poser is doing morph symmetry quite well, with the Morph Brush.  The same principle should be applied when copying morphs between figures.

  2. Again, a morph symmetry issue.  When dealing with transfer between two X-symmetrical actors, the line of central vertices should not end up zig-zagging all over the place, in the final transferred morph.  Such vertices should remain zeroed on X, assuming they were so-treated in the original morph.

  3. Morph and weight map transfers are very messy, when running "uphill" from a lower-res actor to a higher-res one.  Some smoothing should be applied by the copying process, to ensure better results.

  4. Why are we not permitted to apply morph transfer using props which are not parented to figures?  Add more accessibility and flexibility to the morph transfer capabilities and Poser's toolkit will be greatly improved.

  5. Open up all of this geometry comparison and transfer stuff to Python.  Not just the surface features, the actual morph and weight transfers, but the actual ability to compare one geometry to another, quickly and easily.  Give us that in Python and we, the users, will do things the Poser Team never thought of, with the capability.

Aside from that, I just want Poser to be stable and have most of its legacy bugs fixed.  Poser Pro 2014 is quickly catching up with Poser 8 as the record holder for most crash-prone Poser release, in my experience.  Almost anything can cause it to crash.  Fix these bugs and problems, fill in the gaps in the existing toolsets, and Poser will really be somewhere.  Like, it will be pretty much where they claimed it was when they sold me Poser Pro 2014.  Hmm.  :unsure:

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.
