Yes, exactly. I also use this script very gladly and very often. As Rhia already said, it’s not really meant for clothing, not for figures, or only partially. As far as adjusting materials for Poser goes, I’m still learning how to deal with it. I’m practically getting gray hairs trying to convert Iray materials to SuperFly. There may be users who can understand and handle this more quickly and easily, but I can’t assume that creators who have already moved away from Poser will do this—or that I can just ask someone to convert the materials for one product and two expansions and then provide them to me for free or paid.

It would be really nice if the vendors who used to create for DAZ and Poser would start creating for Poser again. I once asked a vendor if it would be possible to get the item for Poser. The answer was no, because the material settings couldn’t be transferred to SuperFly… which is why I’m doing it myself now, because I want to use the item.
But I can only use it statically since it’s a figure. So I open it in DAZ, pose it, export it, import it back into Poser, save it as a prop (I already have five of them now, and that’s far from all the poses), and then I start playing with the materials to get them at least somewhat close to what the creator shows in the promo images. It is possible, yes. I also understand the price changes, because I understand how time-consuming all of this is.

Don’t get me wrong, Ken’s script is incredible—it’s pure magic. But it’s still only a tool. As you said yourself, it would be much nicer if you could import DUF files right from the start—props and figures alike. Some dForce clothing simply doesn’t work with the script, it crashes. Scenes that consist of several objects also cause crashes for me. I have no idea how to program anything like this, and Ken has created a masterpiece.

… And regarding materials… I don’t think anyone would sit down and convert all materials from DAZ items to Poser just because someone asked. And how would you even price that?

I recently talked to a vendor who is now stopping development for Poser. It’s sad—this vendor has been around at least as long as I have… and just like this one, many before them have already left, and more will follow. In the end, we’ll just be a handful of Poser veterans who know how to import items ourselves, create our own materials, dig through old tutorials, or hope someone more experienced in the forums can help.

If Poser can’t offer groundbreaking new features, users will turn away. If users turn away, vendors will turn away. I don’t mean this in a harsh way—it’s simply how things go—and honestly, it scares me.

I’m so grateful for the vendors who still create for DAZ and Poser. I’m grateful that the development team even started working on a new Poser. But I don’t want to have to rely on magic-workers like Ken, Y-Phil, Willyb, and many others to figure out things that maybe should have been implemented in Poser from the start. Do you understand what I mean? I’m not a programmer; I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. For me, all of this is basically magic—just the fact that it works at all. And even though you shouldn’t compare apples to pears, DAZ can auto-fit clothing to most figures, and from what I’ve read it can also transfer textures across figures. Isn’t there any programmer who could bring something like that to Poser?
Okay… now we have Blacksmith3D again… but the clothing problem for L’Homme 2 or Dawn 2 is only solved if you know how to use the Fit Room—or how to rig (I think)… and in P14, at least for now, you can’t even run a dynamic simulation anymore.
It’s winter, and poor L’Homme 2 is standing out there in the snow with short sleeves, freezing… Dawn 2 is sitting barely dressed by the campfire… and La Femme 2 is curling up sadly in front of the wardrobe because she can’t wear her beautiful ODF outfits anymore.

By the way, I don’t really know exactly what rigging is—I kind of know, but I absolutely can’t do it, and I don’t understand the tutorials. I’m happy that dynamic clothing exists, and I’m always thrilled when a dForce item can also be used in the Cloth Room… but for that you need a Cloth Room. :D

Maybe many users are disappointed with Poser 14 because they expected something truly exciting and new. But a simple Material Room doesn’t attract me… though it doesn’t scare me away either—I love Poser, and if I had to, I’d still work with Poser 6 and 7…
But SuperFly is just awesome. XD
