Hi MetaForm for Poser on Windows has been updated to version v1.11. This update provides P6 compatibility for problems encountered when using the "Spawn Surface Prop" and "Save Preset" functions. The changes to the shader tree handling were also reversed engineered into the P5 functionality, making these functions more stable when running under that version of Poser. Another major update to functionality and performance is still planned for later this summer. DAZ customers can download this update by resetting the download link in their account page. Thank you Bill Weird Juice Software

Hi dlk We are still uncertain of the future product plans for MetaForm. Most of the focus recently has been in developing for high level applications and production studios. The version 2.0 technology probably will make into as a series of products for the low end market in time, but the time scales depend on the availability of resources. Vue is still very much under consideration as there has been a great deal of interest from users as well as a few other applications but final decisions will depend on where we find ourselves after we have "back-engineered" the latest code into the Poser plugin. In the meantime a possible partial solution we are considering for the current version update is the export of sequential meshes in Poser supported formats for applications that can handle these as imports. Thanks for your interest. Bill

I know it's been a few years, but has there been any further development of MetaForm?

No.
They lost interest, and there was no update for P7.

That's a damned shame: as far as I know, no other Poser product has these capabilities.
Thanks for the info, though.
