I really hating PP11, the library is one huge problem. First it took me 2 days of searching the forums to get the thing working, otherwise it just kept eternally loading. After I got that working, found the search function was really bad. (Did anyone at SM QA this thing?) Among the MANY problems, while its nice the search engine wants to complete the name your typing. It becomes a problem if its a odd name, then half the time it keeps trying to change the search name to something else. Another problem, I can type only half of the upper-case symbols. Case in point, tried to type S&W for search. Except, the & symbol won't type, again, testing the upper-case symbols, found half won't type.
The search also brings EVERYTHING up, in PP14, I would type EL CID, the one file with that name would come up in the search. In PP11, EVERYTHING that has a EL anywhere in its name came up...Got around that by just searching for CID. However, this alone shows that PP11 search is a step backwards from PP14.
I also enjoyed in PP14, the ability to open the folder I was searching for in the search box. In PP11, it shows a broken folder icon, and I have to use locate to open the folder in the category window. And there is just opens the category it's in, I have to search the category to find the file that I searched for in the first place. Another step backwards from PP14, which allowed the searched for file to be opened in the search window. Allowing me to use the folder there, while at times, switching back and forth between that window and the category window,
There's more, but overall, the library is a step backwards from PP14. As for the rest of it, Superfly is a POS, like many others that have complained in these forums. It renders a black screen, sometimes with a white square somewhere in the render. But, switch over to Firefly, same work, same spot, and it renders.
As with the new male figure that was not included in this package because it was not ready. I feel, that this entire program was rushed and put out before it was not ready. One my computer, I have, Poser 8, PP10, 12 and 14...I purchased PP11 rather than test is. After this experience I'll get the test version from now on. Very disappointed in PP11, and seeing DAZ pulling further ahead in this market.
