Has anyone heard any info about what Poser 7 has to offer as far as new features and what they are planning for it? I would like to see the following items: -Lock morphs with a checkbox next to the dial so they are not affected by poses(I know there is a work-around, but this would be easier) -One button click that turns IK off and on and for all Poser figures to start as IK off in default. -I would love if Poser figures came with preseparated groups when you want to use the group editor. It makes for easier morph-work -I would love to see some alternate primitive shapes for Poser Magnet Zones. A plane, a cylinder, a cube, etc would all be nice to use when a figure interacts with something like a railing or run face-first into a wall. It would nice if I didn't have to work with just a ball/ellipsoid shape. I can get some of the effects I want now but I think it would be easier with a wider array of shapes to choose from. -I would like to be able to change the behavior of certain vertices as they relate to magnets. Similar to how BlackSmith studio works in that you can hieghten how much a particular vertice reacts to a magnet type brush. This would be helpful when we want to pull only certain vertices in a certain way. It would be even better if it were a "painting" type interface to allow us to work like BlackSmith does with textures as well. (Yes, I do plan on buying that program but I think it would be so much more helpful as a native tool in Poser itself. -I would like the ability to make, modify, and delete my own library headings. Frankly I want a separate library for my hand props, set props and sets as well as a new library just for poses, one for materials and one for "switches" which is what I call those poses that change morph settings or material options on various characters. -I would like to have some options as far as the interface as well. I want to be able to put my library on the left instead of the right side always and have it minimize there. (if there is a way to do this, I humbly apologize. I only experimneted once and got discouraged and quit. -I would like an explorer like bar that would be at the top of the library and would never scroll off that offered me the opportunity to go back, forward, and up -I would like for the library to offer me the option of "minimized" headings that would be only words BUT I could click on and see the item or character pic as it normally appears. I would like it so that I could minimize all at once, maximize for full pic to browze the thumbnails all at once or selectively minimize and maximize certain ones. -I would like to be able to rearrange, delete and recover Poser buttons to tidy up my workspace as I never use the twist button anymore (I use dials now or the newer Direct Manipulation tool. My question is, what would some of you more avid users like to see?
