What other choice is there? SM had over a year to get SF compatible with Turing, but nothing ever came out of it and as of now it makes SF a dead end and a major problem for anyone looking to upgrade their GPU from Pascal. You saw the threads that were starting to become common on the SM forums, every week there was a question of why someones new video card wasn't working for SF and the answer was always the same.

I don't know if SM was unwilling to add that functionality to SF or they simply couldn't due to SF's implementation, but I don't think SM would purposely not add in functionality that would extend Posers life cycle. So I'm assuming that it's technically not a feasible feat with what we have right now. Though I'd love to be proven wrong and have a new update for PP11 that gives us support for Turing cards because being forced to use old hardware that's become even more expensive than the newer hardware is pathetic.

I honestly can't say for sure what was going on behind the scenes, but from what I picked up in general conversation my guess would be that SM didn't implement that just because SM didn't implement much of anything into Poser in the last couple of years.

My guess is (and I am guessing, I have no insider information) that SM knew the sale was ongoing and they had no intention of devoting resources to Poser for anything. A sale like this does not happen overnight - no doubt it's been in the works for some time.

For some time, "Ol' Elwood" as I called him gave me the impression he was the only soul working on anything Poser.

Oh, I'm not blaming SM or anything - I'm just commenting that it was probably not technical difficulties that stopped them from improving Superfly.

I'm guessing it was time AND money. And telling me that there wasn't time to include all the nodes before release doesn't quite square with me either. If you were going to release All the nodes, then why not continue, finish and release it in an update? Here it is almost two years later, 4 or 5 updates and sold to Bondware, but no update on the nodes or Superfly. That tells me their work was over and done.
