My worry is that the Poser community has shrank so much the whole endeavor is on life support. Are there any decent artists left rendering in Poser ? Don't get me wrong, there are some incredibly technical proficient guys in the Poser World. If you want to know the intricacies of weight mapping and JCMs, they are your man /woman. And yet for years Poser has come up with figures that were hopeless. Why did people leave to join Daz ? Let me tell you, that wasn't because of the superiority of Daz Studio. It was all about the superiority of the Daz figures. What are people screaming about on this thread ? They want Daz figures in Poser. Is this because of the superiority of the weight mapping, flexibility of the figures ? Of course not. They want figures that look good. That's it. When all you have is the Trabant, the two stroke communist peoples car, it is easy to see why you may be jealous of the other sides BMW. Yeah, but if your side had Mercedes or Audi would you be so desperate to go over to the other side ? I think not.

The guys behind Poser never really got that. The purpose of the program was not to render figures, it was to render aesthetically pleasing figures. When I saw what Pauline was going to look like, I pleaded in the RuntimeDNA forum for them to delay her introduction. Not only did they rush her out, they promoted the Poser program with her ! Look everyone, if you buy this program, you get to own a Trabant. Joy. And then we have the association problem. If you think Pauline is garbage, just think what the program must be like ! What were they thinking ?

And then we have La Femme. The poor girl fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I said this from the beginning and I have and will receive huge push back from stating this. They have taken a Trabant and put a modern engine in it. The reality is that this is not how humans work. Beautiful people are deemed to be of better character and higher intelligence, just by how they look. Looks is everything.

I've said this before. The director of Back to the Future turned down significant sponsorship from Ford to feature a Dolorean as the time machine. It was questionable the Delorean could even reach 88 mph (they changed the speedo). Who cares ? What does it look like !

So what do I want from Poser ? Nothing. OK, yes it is about time we have a Tesla in the works as Erogenesis points out. However, at the moment I'd just like to trade in the Trebant.
