Poser continues to evolve, from simply being a figure posing tool for artists, into a full fledged 3d character animation package. Like most of you, I've used several 3D programs - so here is a brief wishlist of some "standardised" things I'd love to see added to the next version of the program. 1) Render time readout: right now, you get a status bar, and that's it. I'd like to see a more detailled readout including Current elapsed render time, time for last frame rendered (if doing an animation), and total projected time for render to finish (total projected time for all frames to render, if doing an animation). 2) A particle system: Yes, there's a very nice add-on particles package for sale at DAZ3D. But it's lacking a lot of the features that I've come to expect from a particle system. It handles arrays, and that's it. No sprays, no gravity. It also doesn't create visible emitters. Having a proper, integrated particle system, of a more standardised design would be really nice. (the particle room, maybe?) 3) HDRI/spherical lighting: Yes, Poser6 has "sphere lights" but they don't use spherical mapping. What I mean by that is, it only uses a circular portion, of the middle of the image. It doesn't actually map your entire, rectangular image around an environmental sphere. And it would be really nice if we could use HDRI maps, too. 4) GI: you can buy plug in GI engines like Brazil, or FinalRender for the "big name" 3d programs. Something similar for Poser would be fantastic. That's all I've got for now. Anyone else?
