I think Snarly is great - His scripts are simply awesome...

All this stuff about Python versions is a distraction from the thread - Truth is that if a software provider changes something and "deprecates" components, then they should really provide a path to migrate existing scripts - It is part of their accountability - We are using their product to make things - If they want to future-proof their product and therefore keep their customer base, then that is the obvious thing to do.

They used to do it - Even Microsoft (to a degree)...

Greed is the issue - It costs more so they cannot be bothered and push all the fixing out to the community...

That includes Bondware/Poser - They have a beautiful product and should really have produced the equivalent of Ezskin so that both render engines can be used.

And any future render engines...

Snarly does his work out of the kindness of his heart and we are all using it free - He has to put up with what the corporates do but is not responsible for their behaviour.

Perhaps we should support Snarly and find out what we can do to help him convert the scripts that we know and love so much.

Or ask Bondware to help him convert it, pay him for the product and include it as part of Poser... win, win, win
