Hi all, 

Steve from Smith Micro here. A lot of you don't know me or my history with Poser because I tend to work behind the scenes. I've been with Poser off an on since July of 1995 and I currently manage the Graphics group at Smith Micro. As Steve Cooper has moved on, I'll be working hard on the next version of Poser and am excited to help shape the usability and features moving forward. My passion, and how I approach software development, is primarily from a UX and User Centered Design standpoint.

There are a lot of great suggestions here. Some are new, some we are already working on, and some we should have tackled a long time ago. So please keep posting. We're reading and it's important to us. The more concise, detailed, and straightforward you can be, the better. I don't know that I'll be able to address each one in this thread, or answer many questions here, but I'll try as time permits. 

This next version will bring some significant changes for the better. I don't know that we'll add Pac-man style buckets to the rendering results due to licensing issues but then we have plenty to do otherwise. I speak for the entire Poser team when I say that we value your feedback, and truly appreciate your support. 

Thanks, 

Steve
