Just wanted to add something very important following my post above.

Poser has far too much 'legacy' getting in the way of things, and providing the scenario I mentioned above was actually realised, here is how Renderosity could 'shake' the legacy, increase their profits, be left with a clean slate, and all while still catering to the legacy crowd for those who want it.

• Remove all current content from Poser's default program download, all of it.
• Remove the old walk designer, it would no longer be needed in view of the procedural animation generator.
• Supply only one default animation-friendly male and female by default.
• Package all legacy content into separate legacy downloads for those who want it.
• Increase Renderosity's profits by encouraging new content using PBR textures for the new EEVEE viewport.
• Increase Renderosity's profits by encouraging animation block sales for use in Poser's new animation tools.

Shake the waste, new slate, bang up-to-date!

I was just looking at the topology on Shane's figures again. They're so efficiently designed and well topologised that I doubt they would even need a reduction in poly to become animation friendly. What a shame they are not the default figures, especially if the scenario I described above could be realised.

Only thing I don't like about them are the names given to them. Personally I have always thought the names "Alpha" for the male and "Delta" for the female would make sense, especially as they're software figures. The name "Alpha" is also used as a way to describe a dominant male, and "Delta" is genuinely also a female name (Delta Goodrem for example).

The names "Alpha" and "Delta" also have a very nice ring to them, so just in case these ideas ever see the light of day, I hereby claim the names "Alpha" and "Delta" for my own figures. I have no wish to create such figures, but I'm protecting the names in case Renderosity every do this, in which case, they are most welcome to use them.

So anyway, I reckon Shane's meshes with the names Alpha and Delta are the only human figures that should be included in Poser 12's default download. Because those figures, when used in the sort of Poser I described in my previous post, create a sensible, completely viable framework, in which Poser would expand with great success.
