Dying or not, I tellya, Poser is killing me.

One of the updates for Poser 11 makes destructive changes to cr2 files which are processed through P11. That subdividing morph thing changes all the valueParms in Body to targetGeoms, to facilitate the storage of deltas for the different morph resolutions. Seems like a simple, harmless change. But it breaks a bunch of functionality in previous versions. Now any figure used with P11 is no longer fully compatible with earlier versions of Poser. I discovered this when I ran a few figures through P11. Fixing the problem is a time-consuming chore. They broke my figures.

I'm on the blanged Beta team, and I haven't used P11 for anything but bug testing, because of this problem. I kept waiting for them to fix it, so I could move to the new Poser for regular work, but it's still unfixed as of the latest, and perhaps final, update.

So, yeah. Poser may or may not be dying, but it's killing me.

(Note that I still love Poser. I just hate it when it has a case of the stupids.)

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
