"And I don't understand why you put up a whole list of gorgeous example images with Poser WM and say such negative things afterwards."

Because without SM (Or whoever owned Poser in the past) giving us a mesh that is technically and artistically on par with the DAZ' meshes, all of my "wonderful examples"  are absolutely meaningless.

Because they don't earn Poser one single dollar.

These are just examples of what Poser can do if in CAPEABLE hands. Using professionally made meshes.

But we needed an OFFICIAL POSER FAMILY OF FIGURES without mesh issues and built in flexibility.

We needed high polygon figures or a fully implemented subdivision algorithm that allowed mesh creasing to actually ADD detail to a sculpt.

We needed high quality topology, photorealistic shapes and superior rigging.

And we needed all this the second DAZ' released Genesis.

But you rather decided to sing kumbaya, worship poor craftsmanship and silence any voice of reason.

Yes, you all broke Poser. And you have noone else to blame but yourself for it.

The owners for playing deaf and dumb and just trying to squeeze out one more $ out of it every new release with half-broken new "features".

These forum for letting the trolls roam free and attacking those who were the only ones able and willing to help.

And the rabid fanbois for shouting down any critizism.
