I was expressing that I was unhappy about p6 in a previous (my first ever) post here http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=2188216 Although some people in the forum seemed to disagree I felt like for the most part it was a fairly good thread. The advice on Scree3d over OpenGL was really helpful to me. I have NOT changed my opinion of Poser 6, I still think that at present it is far inferior to P5 sr4. I also think that anyone who pre-ordered p6 and got Shade 7 for free got one of the best deals I have ever seen concerning 3d software. Had I not got the pre-order though I would feel let down. ........thing is I have gotten some pretty insulting Private Messages concerning the earlier thread. I do not feel like I was acting like a crybaby, a bitch, a spoiled idiot or a jaded nOOb by expressing my opinion. I was doing just that expressing my opinion. Take a look at the picture accompanying this post and you'll see why I have that opinion. I have a 2.6ghz Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading, 2 gb RAM and a 256 mb Radeon 9800 Pro video card. The scene I am trying to render has 4 police cars, 4 m3's in police uniforms, 1 v3 and BVH's Temptations Of She-Devil outfit. There are no morps applied to any of the figures (other that Door open on one of the police cars) and I have reduced the max texture size to 600 in P6's firefly. It isn't a one figure scene to be sure..... but nor is it especially robust. I have rendered far FAR busier scenes in p5. In fact in 45 minutes or so when p6 finishes canceling the failed render I am going to re-install poser 5 and setup the same scene and post the image. I apologize to anyone who feels like I am whining. I am not. I am genuinely disapointed with p6 and I wanted to vent. I thought that was part of the reson forums like this one existed. As far as Curious Labs Customer service, I am really happy for all the people who got help, I am still waiting for an answer to emails I sent at the beginning of the month. I can't "drop-in" because that would be a heck of a trip from my house:P and I have left several messages on their answering service over the past week. I am still awaiting an answer. I know that they are busy and I do not expect that they are going to reveal anything so simple as, "Oh you have a Hyper Threading P4, Just click the Work Perfectly All The Time Button in the prefernces menu." I know they don't have answers like that and I know they are swamped...... and I don't remember making any negative comments about the Customer service anyways. They will get to me eventually, if not I will just e-mail again. anyways............. I just got so many nasty private messages I wanted to set the record straight :) I am entitled to my opinion after all :)
