As I recall, RayDream had a plug-in (or a utility, or whatever) which prevented one object from passing into space occupied by another. This feature was tremendously helpful in avoiding embarrassing mistakes. It was called a Collision something-or-other, I believe. If there is ANY program that needs such a feature, it's Poser! Is anyone aware if Poser has this capability? If it doesn't, wouldn't it be an excellent feature for Poser 5?

As far as I know there is no Collision Detection for Poser. I think the reason for that is because it would cause problems when it comes to the bending of joints.

Hi Whistler, keithw is correct. No Collision Detection in Poser and YES that would be very cool for Poser 5! Regards, Clint Hawkin-Z GraF-X Carrara, Ray Dream, Poser Figures and 3D Add-Ons. Blinksm.gif

from the dancing woman avi with her clothes i think the answer to collision detect in poser 5 is a definite yes; it definitely looks like they employed it in P5. Unless they took the dancing woman and imported her to Lightwave 7 (which i know has collision detect because i use it) and then send her back to poser but i dont think so because then why advertise the avi as a P5 unveiling if it isnt totally P5 created. i think P5 does have collision detect
