Calm down, every-one !! Please !!

Rendo' & Co have a dire legacy of neglect to untangle, no thanks to the 'Old Owners' who saw it as a commodity rather than an eco-system.

Upside, 'Unimesh support' touches so many aspects of core-code that it must come via a massive 'Spring Clean'.

Which also offers an opportunity to 'Do the Needful' and add 'hooks' to provide future facilities such as, well, browse the 'P_12 Wishlist' for inspiration.

FWIW, V4 may be a couple of LODs down on the current 'Genesis' crew, but both have their place in CGI...

Legacy models ? Yeah, I've several terabytes of them --figures, props, accessories etc etc-- some from before P3 and 'RuntimeDNA'. Funnily enough, a lot of them have similar LOD to recent ports you see from XNA/Lara, SFM, MMD, Mixamo etc etc.

I began with 3DS --static, hues-- to accessorise my 'Classic' FP3D 'Home Design / Architecture' suite for a Medieval-ish look. P3 had figures that could be 'posed', however clunkily, and could use my collection of props. I still collect such, though current challenge is the oft-exasperating rigging differences between Autodesk and 'Open' FBX formats...

Um, is there a convenient workflow between an MMD 'rigged' PMX and something Poser will load ? Without total re-build / re-rig ??

I've sorta-solved for XPS...
