So sorry to hear this.  She was a longtime customer of mine, and I always felt that she had a wonderful spirit.  RIP Kimberly.   

Welcome!

Hey there, sorry for the delay.  I'm going to have a look at this today and I will let you know once the issue has been resolved.  Thank you for letting me know!  

Cheers,

Rhiannon

Perhaps vendors moved to DS because they got more sales for their products, due to there being more users of a free program? No criticism of anyone, just market forces at work.

Yep, pretty much!!

I think we should definitely listen to TOP VENDORS like Rhiannon. They know where the shoe don't quite fit.

The vendors are the last group to support any features added to Poser 8,9,10 or 11.

I'd remind you that those TOP VENDORS refused to make any content for any post-V4 figure.

Can't speak for others, but for me, it was not a matter of "refusing" to do anything. It was a matter of making a living, and what's going to bring in enough sales to pay bills. I'd venture to say that a big majority of the top 20 vendors here at Renderosity, do this for a living and not just a hobby for extra pocket change.

Yes, and I'm pretty sure that "making content creation easier" and "give casual users a one-button approach to things" have been mentioned in this topic before I think we can leave it at that without turning this into YAPVDSFW (Yet Another Poser Versus Daz Studio Flame War).

Please.

Excellent Acro!! YES!

(Also, I'm deciding to start ignoring every comment that can be translated into "make Poser more like DS" from now on.)

LOL ... well yeah, I don't think we want to make it "more like" DS, BUT many processes in Poser are just way behind, so let's catch it up!!!

These comments prove you know nothing about rigging >clothing in Poser.

If there are new improved rigging options in Poser 11 pro then indeed my understanding is limited by the fact that I have only the poser pro 2014 fitting room to compare to the Daz transfer utility

I have used both and IMHO,and that of many former poser vendors I know, there is no comparison in terms of getting a predictable,usable,morphs included, result with 3 mouse clicks, compared to the fitting room "experience".

Then you should clearly state, in your long, lacking in facts rants, that you aren't even using the most current version of Poser and are basing your comments on gossip you hear from DAZ vendors.

Okay, there's really no need to be rude here, it's not constructive at all. I am one of those vendors who have used both programs, and I can attest that YES, it is easier and quicker to rig and get something ready for market in Daz Studio. It just IS, no matter how experienced you are in Poser, and that is fact. And no, this is not a diss for Poser ... I was a Poser lover for many years. And recently, I have jumped back in to "relearn" many things and actually created a few items for LaFemme. It was a lot of fun, and a nice change of pace. NOW ... for those who ACTUALLY have rigged and created something for Daz Studio, let's get moving and talk about the things that could make it more "content creator" friendly ... period. This should NOT be a combative discussion, it's a place for talking and learning how we can bring Poser back.

@Rhiannon Oh, I am prepared to be patient...from here on in could be a couple to a few years before we see anything significant and I'm ok with that. I've been lurking around the Poser forums looking for a glimmer of life for 4 years now ;). I just get upset when someone's opinion is deemed less valid than another's just because they happen to use different software. In this particular case, I think those opinions might be even more valid that other people think: the developers need to know why people left. It might give them some insight on how to bring them back, which is a good thing. I'm sure Renderosity has some idea of the task before them ;).

Laurie

OH yeah girl, the developers definitely need to know all these things and more!! Keep it coming!

You guys can make fun all you want and maybe you're happy with Poser and the status quo, but obviously something is not working or Poser wouldn't be where it is. It is because SM listened to people who feel like you. Unless you want Poser to end up in the $3.00 bargain bin at the local Walmart, opinions like OURS are things that Renderosity needs to take into account. I'm not saying listen and do EVERYTHING we say for crying out loud, but really consider what people are telling you. The majority of ppl that went to the "other side" were former Poser users. Something is obviously not working. People want really good looking, easy-to-use figures. They want an easier time fitting clothing to other figures. They don't want to have to spend hours converting, smoothing, cajoling, tweaking, pushing or otherwise fiddling with figures to get them to look like they want them to. All people are saying is that Rendo, if they want people to BUY Poser when there is a free competing software, is that they're going to have to make it as easy and as fun to use as humanly possible. Right now, that is not the case. I might be weird that I like to experiment with shaders and materials, but I can guarantee you that most people do not. Most people are never going to learn how to model their own things, or morph or rig. I know you say it's possible to get something good out of Poser...of course it is! But it's going to take you 10 times as long with 50 times the frustration as the competition. THAT is what the new owners need to consider.

Think about all the former Poser vendors that are now making content only for DS. Do you think they wanted to? Maybe some did, but some vendors do this for a living. If people were buying for Poser, they'd still be there making things. But the fact of the matter is that most people are not. V4 content is saturated. Poser is bleeding users. So unless you want Poser to stay right where it is (which is pretty much limbo), maybe we all need to make some compromises that can suit everyone, not just one side or the other. Yes, there are DS users in this thread. But most of us were once Poser users and would like to maybe be Poser users again. We want to see it succeed, not fail.

Laurie

I am hoping you know me well enough to know that I'm not making fun of people's requests. It's just the opposite. Because I've made content for both sides, because I was a DAZ PA for something near 14 years, because I worked for Smith Micro, I well see both sides. I think there are several who do.

I only ask one thing, to be patient. Just because a feature isn't addressed immediately doesn't mean it's being ignored. It means that there may be other things that have to be done first to make the other things fall into place.

With Rendo at the helm I think content WILL be king. Please give it time. 8-)

As one of those long time Poser vendors who completely switched gears and moved to producing content for Daz Studio, I completely agree with you Laurie, and I'm fairly certain that Renderosity is listening. AND yes Dee, we all need to be patient. It's pretty exciting news, but now comes the hard work and that takes time. I'm definitely one of those folks who has seen both sides, produced for both sides, so for me, there's no request or conversation that will be discounted or made fun of. All experiences and observations are valid, in my opinion, and I'm sure Rendo feels the same.

BleuPrintz, I've sent you an IM.

From what you are describing, it sounds like maybe you're trying to use the G3 version on G8, and/or perhaps the G3 versions was inadvertently installed to the G8 directory.

You're very welcomed! :-)
