One of the most powerful aspects of Poser's animation tools is the system Nerd developed. Not sure how many people realise it but it's power goes way beyond controlling a morph by a joint rotation. I remember messing around with all sorts of stuff, like controlling the brightness of a light depending on the bending of a knee, and even attaching a micro-sequence, all spline interpolated and independently sequenced, to a joint and having the bone rotation drive multiple other elements in the scene, depending on the angle of the bone rotation. . That must've went under my radar. I kinda feel bad for skipping that release and vocally complaining about it. I didn't want another CPU renderer as I was already looking with envy at iClone's viewport. But dang I thought we'd finally get some longstanding issues fixed, the hierarchy window and file requestor/library issues specifically. I was just certain a long time user would want to see those taken care of before shoehorning in another renderer (I'd just bought Reality anyway, and the introduction of Cycles kinda killed my enthusiasm for that). Anyway, I know features sell upgrades and no one wants to pay for a bunch of bug-fixes no matter how annoying they are. Now I need to look more into those animation tools...
