A percentage of their difficulty may be their system but also user error, an example being the bozo in this thread with his mouse wheel. The patches dont seem to be fixing the same issues as were posted in the forum. Yes I recall some new feature re the mouse but luckily there were some smarter users who just emailed the bugs and didnt post where CL dont have time to look.

I recommend a portion of these users either get a MAC or obtain some semblance of computer knowledge.

Of course, bug fixes and SR packs are not the ONLY outstanding issue with Poser 5 ;-)

QUICKTIME 6 is nonsense. As for the P and M issue, I think there's a petition somewhere, ;-)

This might be an opportune time to enquire into the status of a MAC version of Poser 5. Is it in pieces on the floor, or is it nearly complete except for that code thingie? ( or... A dastardly combination of BOTH, Chief, I think we should use the CONE OF SILENCE!!!! Chief?!... Chief?!... Please note the CONE OF SILENCE used here is a reference to GET SMART the 1960s TV series and NOT meant to imply anything re Curious Labs.)

... and also to be able to UN-bookmark them too.

Yes, we have spoken

Could DAZ buy the Mac version of Poser 5?

... so is there anyone who has any light to shed on the pie-graph of the market for the various 3D apps? Is Curious Labs realy only going to get a tiny profit from all that Mac programming? Thank you purplehayes btw, the problem is that there isnt a Mac version of Poser 5.

How much I would like to see the Mac platform from the point of view of a Windows user. It must just seem like another brand of computer. Things we keep hearing like $1500 for $900(?) of hardware circle around in my head as I search it for meaning. The debate as to which system to release Poser 5 on first are weighted by the routine that Curious Labs were in financial trouble and possibly also in trouble with EGI-SYS. Its presumed by some that maybe CL should merge with DAZ and by others that they should sellout completely, and theyre saying TO APPLE. That makes sense doesnt it? Poser returns to its roots for a recharge, releases one final version for WinPC, and becomes a kick dick 3D application. Support for the various other platform versions continues for one year after which said users go back to 3Dsmax etc and abandon Poser to what must not be a very large portion of the 3D on PC community. BTW, for want of a bit of information, does anyone know, (not think, know) what the percentage is of Poser licencing on PC compared to the variety of applications available for that platform? Is it about 2 or 3 percent? If so, why use Poser at all if one has a choice? How much would you be prepared to pay if the purchase price went into 3 figures. Marque (NEVER buy a Mac, blah blah hardware etc) Wasnt that the argument for not getting WIN95? You didnt get suckered into getting that did you?

Can't the clothing be shrunk to fit them, like in The Taylor?

There was once a secret society who meet in the woods in the dead of night and stand around in a circle in dark hoods chanting ancient mantras. There are twelve to represent the signs of the ancient Cornucopian zodiac which hasnt been used for centuries and even then never predicted DICK. The story goes something like this. In March this year (no, thats May this year) the application Mimic was bought by DAZ and put on sale for 25% of the original price, which was bad luck for anyone who had just paid $US199 for it. Then in August this year the Macintosh version was announced, which was bad luck also for people who had just paid $100 for a PC to run the original beta. (Blimey, it was stuck at 1.0 for two years. What hope is there for Poser 5?) Not disputing wolf359s claim as the founding member it was Little_Dragon who first estimated the number of animators being limited to 12. First person to mention 12 animators was, well it was ME actually in the same tread, one of my more mindless posts just before DAZ re-enabled the Mac button. (It had been accidently turned off, see my second posting in that thread). Ive learned to type with my right hand, sort the WEB with my left hand and animate with my nose.

There are so many wobblys here I dont know who to troll about what. How exactly does one COUNT a Mac? I point to the Mac and say ONE, then I point to the other Mac and say TWO, do any of these statisticians do the same? I estimate that 1 person in 8 is a Mac user. Of the other 7 only 1 or so is an MS-only-ever, 2 or 3 made some sort of decision often weighted by everyone else having one, the rest play games and steal software. Am I in the wrong crowd? It would seem that a certain software company may have been in desperate financial straits, whats their market share? Not 2.5 percent is it? (!) As for that monopoly case, where does even Netscape get off charging for there product when BT and Cern, where lots of the early work was done, get nothing. I still believe the missing code story. Apple are still umm and arrring about Power4 or GPuL or x68 or Motorsmoulder chips and would put their hand up to all sorts of weird and wonderful behaviour before they tell people what their working on. Except that they could have brought out a 9.2 version for the extra money, and published the sales figures. Lets see what the percentage really is.

Hiram I estimate that 1 person in 8 is a Mac user. I get around, those stats are fairly consistent. Daio If they could tell us the EXACT status of the Mac version, is it in pieces on the floor, or is it complete except for that code thing? (Whos next?) c1rcle We all thought you were joking when you put that, i mean its Steve COOPER not Steve Cox whos working on all the patches and upgrades, and the Mac version. I though I saw a wee bit of cleverness there. (Btw Thorneworks is back up, sort of)

Could depend on what DAZ do, and if they do, well, last one with a MAC version is a ...
