It was last week, July 7, I had this conversation in chat. "I think it would be a great idea for poser to use cycles as their new render engine". Another chatter replied, that would be a logical choice. And bam...the announcement yesterday appeared in the forums. At first I was elated, but then the usual drama unfolded in these forums with the usual suspects. I've visited other forums as well (RDNA, Hivewire). Folks over there are civilized compared to here.

You do make a very valid point.  Since the start of the year I have been spending more time at RDNA and a lot of the people posting are the same people, even if the names are different.  There reason is quite simple it is far more civilised than here.  OK that is my opinion but anyone can take any of the threads here and look for a similar titled thread at RDNA and make their up their own minds. I much prefer RDNA but if the people are the same and the subject matter is the same what is the difference?

I notice we have reached page six and not a moderator in site.  I am not saying anyone should be banned, or that anyone is a troll, I am not even saying what has been said is wrong, just perhaps there are better ways of saying it.  This is not the only thread where there is no input by a mod and this just weeks since the new rules came into force and the people that have left were invited back.  What a shame it became business as usual within days.

Oh and to come back on topic.  Thanks you so much Nerd for the Sneak Peek, I really do appreciate your efforts and that of Teyon.  I also totally understand if this is the last Sneek Peek we ever get.

 

 

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.
