If unimesh support has been dropped - then this feature need to be undeprecated.

Indeed.

I shamefully admit that I'm a Polygon Saver.

I obsessively try to optimize my figures so that there are no unecessary polygons which could prolong rendering times. So I often create my own "casual" figures with clothing permanently fused the the bodys.

So this new feature was actually much appreciated.

And while we're at it:

Please add a switch do disable the dreaded "Master Synch", as it seriously messes up JCM creation.

Also undo whatever you did to parenting hair.

I do a lot of custom figure morphs using scaling, so I almost always need to add custom fit morphs to hair props later.

In PP-2014 I can morph the hair using Magnets or the Morphbrush, spawn a new morph, and everything is fine.

In Poser 11 the spawned morph causes the hair prop to re-scale and re-move away from the custom figure's head.

It gets old having to switch between Poser apps just to make a simple fit morph for a rescaled figure.


In German there is a word for this stuff: "Verschlimmbessern".

It's when a new feature what was meant to improve things actually makes things worse.

So whatever "new and improved" feature you come up with in the future, PLEASE at least add a switch somewhere to disable it again.
