The problem is that many Poser figures are not perfectly symmetrical. Also the mirror functionality of the morphbush is not quite perfect.

So while I do a lot of morphbrush work, errors will add up. (Sometimes that's actually good, as the human body, including the face, is never perfectly symmetrical)

But a non symmetrical sculpt makes rigging very hard. Weightmapping is quite unforgiving compared to spherical falloff zones.

Magnets are a much "safer" way to mirror a morph, so I still use them frequently.

I do a lot of figure "hacking", using morphs and shapes from various sources, so I need reliable tools.

So without at least these two scripts available, I'd have to constantly switch between Poser 11 to Poser 12, and that will get old really fast.

I'm on a PC, and I experienced in the past that new installations of Poser happily "take previous settings" hostage and overwrite them or destroy things that previously worked fine.

Even after a complete uninstall some problems were persistant.

It's a lot of work "settling" in a new installation of Poser. I have literally thousands of runtimes scattered over several drives, to keep my Poser library at least halfway organized. I never was a friend of just dumping everything in one big runtime and just rely on the Poser search engine.

To make a new installation work, I have to manually install at least 50+ runtimes, as automated install won't work.

I also have to edit the preferences to get rid of many of the annoyances of Poser's default state.

So it's not just "Download and run". It takes about a day before everything is where I need it to be.

IF Poser doesn't throw me a curveball like Poser 11 did with the "MasterSynched" nonsense.

I use the pose dots to automatically activate full body JCM correction morphs alongside a certain pose.

(If we had more or "programmable" pose dots in Poser, that would be a great way to simplify posing, BTW)

But with Mastersynch activated, the pose dots suddenly stopped memorizing those full body JCMs.

This made Poser 11 completely unusable for me.

So it sat dormant for over a year on my old laptop.

Then the switch happened between SM and Bondware.

When I got my new laptop, I tried to re-install Poser 11, but that hairbrained "phone-home" snooping software demanded that I log in with my original serial #.

Which I couldn't retrieve from my old laptop.

So in the end I bought Poser 11 TWICE, one time from SmithMicro, one time from Bondware.

Still took me a while to solve my "MasterSynch" problem and get my pose dots to work properly again.

Then Poser 11 broke Genesis and V2LO. I could fix both, but it was a lot of work.

So, sorry if I'm a little reluctant jumping on the Poser 12 bandwagon.

Fool me once ...  ;-)

Anyway, thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

Yeah, it would be much better if we could talk about the latest "Posette 2022" and "Dork 10+" products in the marketplace instead of having conversations like this.
