For the record I wanted to write it in Python and leave it as part of the app, not an outside component. It was because of Anime Studio, written in Visual Basic, that we needed an outside component. Due to needing one solution for Windows and Mac it had to be Python or Flex. Python was deemed a loser because it was not going to get embedded in AS and not going to be able to use wx to do what we wanted, graphically. Any other solution such as native GUI in C++ was crazy talk - that would have been a solution that cost 10 times more. I would have been happy to take $250 K from SM but they did not think enough of you would pay $500 per copy to make up for it.
So - if you want a more expensive UI, feel free to ask them for it and send along your $500. I can write whatever they want, but they can't afford what you want, as far as I'm aware.
There is an unreleased replacement already in Poser 10. They have not told me why they didn't officially turn it on. You should ask nerd to actually talk to Uli about it and get back to you.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
