I have Poser Pro Gamedev and I can truly and honestly say it is the biggest pile of sh!t I have ever seen. It crashes more than a drunken driver on PCP. I have one setup here with one character and a few cloths on it, some polygons removed and now I'm trying to combine it to one figure and that damn thing crashes every time. I spend 500$ on it specifically for the game dev features and now it is unusable. The unseen polygon removal function is a joke, it barely recognizes any, you have to do that work manually anyway and when you run it automatically it crashes half of the time. The only thing that works is the polygon reducer, but when you have a piece of clothing with useless clusters of polygons, say buttons, you can't tell it to treat them moreaggressively. Instead it spreads the reduction over the whole mesh and booom, you get a unusable piece of cloth with some nice buttons.
Seriously, if I had any hope of success, I would sue them to give me my money back, but I know it's useless.
You wonder why there is no time limited tryout for Poser? Well there you have it. Anybody who could tryout this piece of BS would never buy it.
I'm not even mad because of the money alone, but because I build my whole artpipeline on their promise and now I'm stuck with a piece of bugware that doesn't do what it promised.
