Fair enough, but doesn't the latest version of Poser include DRM?

It contains a periodic phone home "feature" to keep it activated. It is a different from DAZ DRM and potentially even more dangerous (SMSI goes down, there are no more authentication servers around, in 6 months Poser copies become bricked). The only good DRM is a dead DRM.

Back to the development of a Cycles shaders library for humanoid characters aka "dropping it" ;-)

I find it a little humorous how outspoken some people are about their hate of DRM. But continue to use plenty of other things that feature a form of DRM, and in a lot of cases a lot more invasive forms.

No need to drop it, we just aren't meant to be discussing how SM is on the verge of bankruptcy as it's OT. But DRM is definitely on topic here so feel free to vent.
