** HOLD on to YOUR hat, this is gonna STINK.**

The vendors :
Years ago, many years ago, I bought 3 Products. They where Soooooo bad, that I swore to never-ever buy anything again.

a) Was Loretta, WHAW, how can someone invent such a mess.............

b) Little One. the nicest head of the whole Poser universe, but Oh dear Lord in Heaven, how can any twisted brain come with a body like that?????????

c) Was a male figure, that I deleted after less then 55 seconds. It did not even last a single minute on my HD.

So far for the vendors.

The companies  :

SM, this is the Poser forum, so let us start with SM.

• Some object files are not symmetericval, Sydney and Alyson2 are the worst of the lot.
  - All native poser figures have magnets that are way , - and I repeat - WAYout of symmetry.
  As a content creator the wanna-be vendor that wants to build for them, never knows what is gonna happen left-right with his/her outfit.
• Dependencies, another bad luck moment in the symmetry department.

The main issue with SM figures, are object file symmetry, magnet symmetry, and denpendencies symmetries.. This combined with some odd rigging choices, and one understands why they are not popular at all.

DAZ split with Poser compatibility with the Genesis1 series. i was not in the least intersted, so let them go. Bey-bey.
But, after a year and lots od discussions, I loaded my first Genesis1 female in Poser.

MORE THEN A YEAR after release, ME, MYSELF and I, had to discover the talking toes and fingertips in the Genesis 1 Series of figures.
What about the creators? What about the beta-test team? What about the BIG mouths woh wanted to "FORCE FEED" Genesis throught he Poser end users community??

End of the Genesis1 Story.

The whole end user base SCREAMS for full Poser compatibility. What does DAZ do?
Right, they come with Genesis2. How STUPID and self distructing can a company be??

Then comes Hivewire out of nowhere.
Hivewire? Who or what is that?
They create a 2 month long hype with a "new Poser and DS" compatible figure.

At release date they come with a mesh technology that dates from between V3 and V4, build in DS for DS and then "half" converted to get it "half working in Poser.
And with a super oversaturated texture to bend bike steering wheel handles over.

And then someone is not satisfied over figure bashing??????

And then someone says, And

IS this over-reacting?
When on average there are 42 symmetry magnets errors in ALL of the SM figures?

When an obvious error like talking toes and fingertips are only accidently discovered by an end user a WHOLE YEAR after release?

When a "new" figure is clearly more then 10 year old technology?

Are we, end Users, Over reacting???

And YES, this post was meant to be HARD on some.

When on average there arte

Poser 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, P8 and PPro2010, P9 and PP2012, P10 and PP2014 Game Dev
