Uuuum....

Point of order here.

Poser doesn't -have- any new propietary file formats. CR2 is text. CRZ is zipped text. It doesn't handle a lot of the newer industry standard formats correctly, but it still has good compatibility with a lot of the older, persistent standards. Sure, I'd love pointcloud support; any animator would. And if we keep nagging, we may just get it.

There is no 'Vicky killer' for one simple reason. Vicky is a mesh. A resource. Nothing more. The original Victoria was next to unuseable until Traveler put out his morphs at Morphworld. Which stopped when some individuals wrapped them in their work and sold them without crediting the real creator.

So far as the g-thing is concerned, its creator has gone their own way. Sayonara. So it can be MacGuyvered into Poser; it doesn't work natively there. No heat there. Dawn is nothing but a resource, not the second coming of whatever. The V-things and assorted offshoots were never the second or first comings of anything. They were resources. Nothing more. They may have been hyped as something incredible, but that doesn't change the fact that if you copied their geometry file, changed the extension to .txt and hit print all you would get is a lot of pages of paper with matrix numbers on them. If I ever get good at rigging, I'll be converting all those old figures to Poser unimesh and wieghtmapping them. We still have more polys to play with than most games meshes, and a good percentage of pro level movie meshes.

Like anything, Dawn has pluses and big minuses. Not surprising for a 1.0 release. Constructive feedback is the only thing that will correct that. Note the first word of the previous sentence.
