I must have missed all the savaging of V4WM, must have been too busy using it at the time and I still am, almost every day.  V4WM is not only fun to use it has saved me a fortune.

It was pretty brutal.  Folks were unhappy that it wasn't just a "load, pose, render" solution.  They had to run a python script once. Of course, the folks who worked on the conversion got the "blame" for adhering to the DAZ copyright rules.

It was, in fact, the reason you are unlikely to ever see another DAZ figure WM conversion done.

What a shame that a few people, and I bet I can list most of the names involved, have such a negative impact on the community.  V4WM is the mayor reason I am still using V4 and will continue to do so, I guess that is what irks them so much.   Still it does reflect real life, there are always more people willing to complain than those that are willing, or even capable, of building something better, much easier to trash others work.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
