Having just purchased Poser 5 (yes, again - they don't make P4/PPP for Mac OSX, I gots no OS9 in my Cube, and I traded my Win32 version of P5 in a year ago.) By the by, the OSX version actually works w/o crashing every ten minutes like the Win32 version did. Now if only hair dynamics would work, I would be pleasantly surprised. Anyrate, having seen good ol' Content Paradise mentioned in that gargantuan thread below, I decided to go looking, and it brings a couple questions to mind: Does anyone actually use the thing? Seriously. I'm asking here because asking R'osity or CL admins directly would get me a wall of words that basically boil down to "we can't/won't tell you that" or somesuch. That's actually cool with me, because business is business (NDA's and all), and if I were told anything otherwise I would immediately suspect the veracity of the answer (sorry, but I'm a cynical old bastard who doubts any and all words originating from just this side of Heaven... that's just the way I was built.) I noticed that it still works (it launches Safari and looks to be a middleman sort of thing... requires a seperate login and such), but I noticed that (as a rough count) at least 90% of the stuff is R'osity MP stuff, and there seems to be no difference between buying it in the proggie and buying it here (aside from the IIRC promised auto-install routine... wonder how you make backups of that?) Also, I noticed that it doesn't get updated all that often... fairly recent, but not as recent as it would if I went straight to the site that sold it (which BTW is listed.) I believe that's because of business again, sort of a built-in lag to give the originating store a reason to draw folks in. This is why I asked (besides being semi-bored on a Sunday evening, that is.) It's an offhand question or three yes, but honestly I'm not trying to poke any sleeping dragons - I just want to know if anyone actually uses it, and if so, do you feel it worth using? Since I prefer to just go straight to the website and get it myself, this is more rhetorical than anything else... but it does make me curious to see how others view it (no pun intended, eh?) /P
