"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..................................
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."
I am pleased to see this info posted.
I own Anime Studio 7 on OSX and was amazed at how much the
poser pro 2014 library looked like the primitive one in AS.
I Don't Blame Bagginsbill for Clarifying his non culpability for
this ridiculous throwback to the late 1990's ,that is the current
Content library system.
I recently made changes to my Zone Alarm Firewall on my windows 7 Machine .
Because I dont care for the "reportware" built into most software
that contacts external web servers without my permission,
I used the application control feature in ZA to Disallow
external communication for most of my Applications.
But if I do this for poser "pro" my content library wont load.
Not a show stopper Mind you, but just an example of how silly
this external Adobe air dependent library nonsense actually is.
"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."
WOW!! Not to argue with people over what they charge for
programming in C++
But this Commercial $60 USD plugin was written in C++
by ONE independent programmer.INTERPOSER
It effectively gives us C4D users Full Access to ANY standard
poser runtime Library from which we load and use fully
functional poser figures & Content within Cinema4D
It supports All poser formats.
(excluding Native poser matroom shaders & python dependant content)
Now yes Maxon C4D is $3600 USD Professional level Program.
yet for $60 USD you have access to a poser content libraries with
no dependence on flash or other Adobe products.
Daz Studio is a free program that gives me
access to a poser content libraries with no dependence on flash
or other Adobe products.
I am amazed that Smith micro does not deem it crucial to
provide with us this basic internal functionality that had existed for
nearly a decade in poser.
Oh well.
