"Some of you will read this and think, "Well you must be an idiot if you didn't know that Poser came with its own library of stuff".

I don't think you are an idiot at all but I am very glad you took the time and trouble to add such a long post.  I think it is all to easy for the regular posters on any forum to forget they are in fact a very small minority.  I have no way of proving it but your supposition that the majority of 3D artists are in the same boat you were in I believe is very near the truth.

I would like more people to have the knowledge to understand just what the 3D world has to offer and then to pick the parts that gives them the most pleasure.  It is a shame then that so many threads revert back to the same arguments over the G figure and all the half baked ideas of why it happened and who was to blame.  I have lost count of the number of threads that have been locked after the same people post with the same information they have been using for years now and it is no more valid (or useful) now than it was then.

New comers to the forum do not know of the hidden agendas of some of the posters and are ill equipped to understand what is fact and what is someone's very biased view.  The end result is the really good information on figures, content topology and so much more is lost amonst all personal battles.

What a shame, we do a dis-service to those who are either new to the hobby or to the forum, if only we could stick with facts or well validated/reasoned opinion and leave it for the reader to make up their own mind.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
