@ Afrodite-Ohki and Glitterati3D .... see I know very well that you just can not handle any truth, not even reality, always searching a way t discriminate it !! so lets take this little sample and you tell me

Where is the Toilet ????

as much as this could not be considered as funny , as much is your behavior nothing that gives to laugh about, on how you treat Individual meanings

Guess if they will not get that Corona under control then it sure it will get very Peace-full on earth there will not be much left to argue it is already like a Zombie Holocaust

Just had a closer look at PP11.3.5... not really visible updates there is the feature that you can look at your Purchases in the library logging into your account. the Installer will make sure to make a complete uninstall of your previous versions a full clean up , no alternate options!

I noted that it somehow messed up older versions of Poser on the machine but might also be a glitch. then rann a test with a Python collection D3d Pythons all dead and many others that get mostly a bad magic number might be over 80% of pytons that were working in SM Poser 11 ! A byt a shame as it naturally also affects older 2ond skin packages and material setups that have Python support. these get mostly useless.I did not check the Surreality Pyton based dolls jet and quiet some other fabulous packages for V4 if there would be an issue with the Pythons then for sure it would be a sad loss of outstanding Products. These would all get useless in Poser.

might be something they have to consider making a roll back to get these Pythons working again, allot of great Python creators do not release further updates and there are almost no new releases of useful py apps that were making life easy, so the old ones could be of great value. A big stepp backwards if they would not !

So no Juheeee or Huraaa for that beta release from what I can see

So, if you're a beta tester, you just violated the NDA.

If you're not, you're just full of shit.

What the fuck is just wrong with you .... you sure having a really big issue . as soon as someone places he's opinion you freaking accuse that one of violating and stealing !! but that is the issue with wanna be artists like you are , having a real attention disorder !!! not even able to place out a descent render ... but a mouth full of shit

Guess we will see if they keep it in PP12 and stepp into SM's shoes

@ Wolf , it does not prevent Piracy it provokes Piracy . If you run your legal licence it will be affected from the call home it will even periodically send a lock to get all SM versions down even if they have Permanent licences. If you run a unregistriert versions there servers will not be able to get into your system and leave you alone , so there goes honest people!

@ Jenn , Why ? I guess you know why ! I do not like Lies and I guess many others also, I can not give respect for people who try to get what they want by force if you know what I mean. also there are several Threads at Daz and other Places that say that people who argue in these Forums get there Accounts banned including all there Purchases counted over 6 since end of July. Is this the way you plan to handle Poser in the future ?

Even that I am a Poser user I would say your friend might be better of with Daz to start off. just to be able to get the Freebies offered by 3rd Party creators in Poser and Pay the Price it is not worth it . The good old stuff is still based on V4 M4 and she would have to get her at Daz !

There are loads of great free content for Poser and DS over the Internet just use google search for "Free Poser/ DS" . Ds will support both DS/Poser models , at least almost all with the little exception of La Femme. Also at the moment she would be in disadvantage as no one knows how it will develop and making large Investments into Poser could end up as a loss. Poser has a call home system that might be changing into a monthly pay system , they just have to hit that little button !! so better wait up until they release Poser 12 as it also could be that they hit the button and shut down Poser 11, you never know.

The next thing is that most of the great Creators make models for DS , so if she plans to buy stuff she might get better quality for the price offered. The latest DS models are very developed and it would take poser over a decade to catch up on them if they get some capable Creators, what I doubt, as they rather get rid of them then to recruiter.

This is my honest meaning even that I am a Poser user and should support it , but if I were to start off from scratch I would Pick DS to be on the secure side.

you normally get such a message when trying to add a material that was made for a specific Outfit. You have Mt5 materials that can be added to any surface if you use a Mc6 material then you need to use that one for the model it was made for. Mt5 does also only assign to the selected region it will not assign the material to all the regions on the model unless it has only one.

Retrovave,

there are different methods used, you can open your Exe in notepad ++ search for "nalpeiron" then you will know if this method is used. It was the severs SM was using. They can perform many things such as Analytics, and probably also things you do not really want to know." Big Brother is Watching You " The Licence activation has normally a time frame in the file that has been generated, it also contacts the licence server for validation on startup. the licence server can also contact registered licences and shut these down. You Can check up there site to find out more about the methods used.

Afrodite-Ohki

nice to see that you agree with me

All this is actually none of my business, but you folks should be a little more open minded. Open your eyes to see the truth. They don't want what is best for you, they want what is best for them, they will try in any possible way making you believe that it was the best for you.

they could of bought the right to develop Poser further in the future just like Sm did from e-frontier Sm made Poser7 as there first release after Poser6 from e-frontier they developed a new release but did not force users to drop Poser 6 , they left it as it was. Same thing Bondware could of done, but there Greed did not let it happen as they wanted the Licences and the Customers all in one package.

The short version would of been, to announce .... we "Bondware" will be the future developers of Poser, stay tuned for a great release of Poser 12 . SM would of dropped support for Poser 11 but leave it running for there customers, Legally they would of been forced to, either by removing the Internet activation, or keep it online.

This is the common method that is used by serious companies , Today and in the Past. What happen now is based on absolute Greed, by misleading customers and users.

You just have been blinded by lies and corruption nothing else

Matter of fact it will be upon the customers to decide if they feel good about it or not. The act was wrong from either side SM and Bondware. would Bondware not of bought Poser then SM would of been forced to keep it running, they would of dropped support but not deactivated the running versions. it is seen on many of there Applications that are not further Developed. What is happening now, is all based upon Bondware decisions, SM can not be blamed for it.

At the end the comportment of Bondware will be the key if poser will have a future or not. The way things are looking now there will not be a big chance for it. poser might still get sold a little but Creators will slowly vanish, as there Income will fall to the ground. Bondware just took the wrong turn Insisting to keep a Kill switch. Daz will laugh hes head off and get even larger due the mistakes Bondware is making .

I believe the main reason of such shouts is the frustration of users on how things are being handled. Most feel being cheated on !

All this is resulting in different categories:

The one who shouts demonstrating the frustration, fears and worries. ( He will not be heard even if he tells, he just is getting ignored by the ones who are in charge ) this can for sure cause an escalation, so he will be blamed for the leak of information.

The silent, he will not show up, in most cases he just will use something else if it is not in he's comfort.

The followers, these will do anything to convince others that it is good the way it happens, without being able to give any information why, as they do not know more then the one who shouts.

Such situations always appear if things are not clear and if people are left in the dark ( Take it or leave it ) .The Chaos Theory.

Lets face reality

all this results into a mayor splitt up. Some support the changes, some take it as it is but will slow down there investments, some jump to another application and will not return, most will do anything to get a hacked version, that avoids all above mentioned hassles, to be on the secure side.

Users and creators try to release new flagship's to save there passion, these just fade away, the ones who are in charge just keep the silence, leaving the long term members in the Dark.

This has been the first time in history that Poser got a new owner on a existing version forcing users to change, all others made a new release to avoid such a disaster. It is the first time in history that two versions got shut down. Stealing the money and trust of honest costumers. All this will cause a major change, the trust in Poser has fallen to the ground and it will be very difficult to bring it back. People might forgive but they do not forget.

Exactly the reason Poser still exists and seems to be in a lot of toolkits. As long as they maintain (and frankly expand) the ease of interoperability with other programs, Poser will have a future growth path.

Exactly the reason why it has not been released to avoid potential abuse that could be done making allot of $$$$$ as the Plugin goes in both directions , it would make Poser very popular as any model could be exported with just a click. Who do you think will make a big profit ? They would milk the customers and creators big time . A free plugin can result to be a good idea for some , for others just useful to fill there Pockets with gold. This happen already with allot of cheap addons for Poser.

"Some things you do not want to know how it got popular as it did not happen in a regular and fair way."

Look at it this way : If you go to a Rip site you will find 5-10 power posters that share stuff worth millions, do you think they could afford buying them to share ? who would really be able to afford sharing such an amount ? Who would make the most profit out of it ? sometimes there are methods used to increase product popularity in unethical ways.

-- The Rent a model library , was meant in a ironic way to make you realize how much it would cost if Poser would go to a subscription model -- People often just think in short terms , but do not calculate the amount they have spent over a year, the ones who do will for sure not pay for a Poser subscription, but Bondware might find enough stupid people that will.

Poser figures to Blender with 2 klick's has not been released, a work in progress. It does not need Poser to run it just needs access to the poser models that are automatically converted in both directions. It might give some insurance for the ones who will not have further access to poser, allowing them on using there Poser models in Blender , as alternative to Daz Studio.
