hi !

Here what i wish for new poser8, even i would pay 100€ to a SR4 for poser7 with this new features too if poser8 is after 2010   :

• first, in the combo list where you can switch between different render images, there was the datetime of the render. Well i wish have the time of the rendering operation stored too ! Even, it will be excellent to have a remind of the different render options between the previous render. Then a button to go back history and apply the render option.

• secondly, i wish a Repeat feature (CTRL+Y key shortcut)  in the Edit menu ! it is very boring that you can reproduce the last action you did ! Specially when have to go in a deeper deeper deeper submenu to recall it !.
  -By exemple, load a figure
  -load a cloth 1
  -go in the menu figure to conform it , then open the combo list, select the figure !
  -load cloth 2
  ....again and again !

When you have 10 clothes, props of any objects, you have to do the same exaclty thing 10 times !

• Firstly,[B] in the library panel, i wish to have the abality to DELETE any item folder, and not just my own or what i add. i don't understand with remove button is hidden when you select a item folder you didn't add yourself !
  I installed many librairie package, and i wish to delete some item i'm sure i will not use. For example, i just install a 40 poses package, then i only need some 10 of them, well i want to hide the one i don't need. I have to go in the fiel system and remove them manually ! it is boring !

• Then i wish to have the information of the number of polygons used in my scene. Vue can display it, but no Poser. It is very useful to have an idean of the futur render time, to know how complicated the scene is.

• Then, when you go into a folder in the libray, then in another folder, then another.... and when you decide to go back in the previous (upper in the hiarchy tree), Poser put you on the first folder !! It should replace you on the folder where you double-click to go into !
  So when the folder you entered into, is the last one of a list of 30 folder item, you have to scroll down again to go to where you was initially... So Poser   Should remember and reselect and replace you on the previous folder you click to browse!

• and my final wish is a tracking eye-point-of-view feature. I explain.
  I ofter do some 360° rotate camera on figure/face. And i wish the fugure go on to watch me (the camera). So i have to rotate myslef the eyes, the n the neck, then the head, then the shoulders, and the body.
  So it will be very userful to have a way to attach the camera to the eyes (like an invisible wire) so when move/rotate the camera position, the figure do what it had to do to keep looking at the camera.
  This feature is always available the the hand : you move the had, the arm move too, then the shoulder, the the body . So a link-tracking-system between eyes and camera would be genious !!!!

So that's all. All my wishes are to increase and perform ergonomy, user-abilities...

As i said, i could pay 100€ for this SR4 and poser8 upgrade !

All ideas are welcomed.... !

Quote - my version of POSER says Version 10 ....so a version 8 will be backward in time 

I guess you never get tired of saying that, do you? :-)

More seriously..... I don't have much on my wishlist for Poser 8, I've got pretty much everything I can wish for in Poser Pro. I'm not into looking into what I'm missing and wishing it was there, I'm learning to use the tools I've got right now and making the most of them. The only wish I've got left for Poser 8 is the price...... A price drop to $49 or less would sout me fine. As for the rest, I'm letting myself be suprised when it comes, worked fine so far. They always seem to come up with some great addition and improvements.

what i mean by saying that .... over and over again..

is that poser 8 will NEVER have things poser PRO "version 10 " does not has...
So people must check whats in poser Pro and then fill in the  gaps ..
I see things in wishlist P8 that are in Pro ..

Im thinking there might not even going to be a P 8 as we know it..
Its not unlikely they go with Poser XX and Poser Pro XX . so all th goodies go to Pro and a low end version will be Poser as we have it now..

I for one like to see a refresh button in the folders.. for producers of poser stuff its stupid the list does nto refresh itself..

I see, but.... I understood Poper Pro isn't on the same path as Poser is, I guess that's what they call the upgrade from P7 to PP a Sidegrade. Some of the features available in PP may never be in P8. Also I don't think everyone wants to sidegrade to PP, but keep the regular version.

but you can understand that if they put lets say Radiosity rendering in poser 8 but not in Pro nobody is going to buy pro anymore...

i realy have the feeling that poser 7 was the last of the poser in the style we know..
i think its going to be Poser Pro ..and a low Basic version of pro like we have now..

Sith Mirco aint saying much about it.. might as well we never see a new version again ....
Or they go for the Major league with poser and leave the little poser 5,6,7 version for what they are...

We will see...

We'll see indeed. I'm not going to loose any sleep over any of this and if the next poser is never released, I'll happy rendering with Poser Pro for many years to come.

I daresay some poser developers may read this thread.  we don't know if they've reached the point
in the project where they're preparing to release poser 8  to the beta testers.

Here's a simple vertex counter script.

(Take the attached text, rename to NumVerts.py)

I would like to see some additions to Poser script. As of P6 you can use a pose (pz2) file to add a new 'valueParm' channel to the BODY of figure via the "createFullBodyMorph" statement. I would like to see this syntax expanded so that I can create any type of channel in any actor. The syntax would have 3 augments and would work like this "createChannel [actorName] [channelType] [ChannellName].

I would also like to be able to use a pose file to create a new actor in a figure.

IMHO these two enhancements would represent a great leap forwards in terms of what content providers could contribute, and thus enhance the end-user experience and usability of Poser greatly.

I would also like to be able to change the trackingScale of a translate or targetGeom channel.

Oh yea, and some way to Stop Poser adding the "GoalCenterOfMass" and "CenterOfMass" to every figure (yes I know it has its uses in ERC functionality).

Another wish, I wish pz2 files could live in the same folder as cr2 files, it would make life so much easier. Files should be parsed on the basis of their file extension, not on the basis of their location.

I wish I could delete / hide more than one prop or figure at the time

doing it one by one is time consuming

efron_241: you can. The Python scripts are here:

How about trying to work things out with Quidam,  It was to be in PoserPro but someone fucked that up.  For the first since Poser 4  I did not upgrade.  

****** there is a pluggin in for Carrea  ******
Are you listening SM? As much as I like Poser , I can always start over and learn Carrea.

@LesB:  Amen to the Center Of Mass crap.  Almost nobody uses it, and it
clutters up every CR2 unless you manually edit it out. 

A feature along the same general lines that would be highly useful:
Flexible centering.   Switch in real time to any body part as the center of rotation, instead
of always using the Hip.

I wish they could build a better scrolling feature than holding on to your mouse pick button, while scrolling through the trillions of runtime bits I got... and even a search engine for those hard to find things... um.. and yeah... radiosity. 

Don't you think you have a better chance of getting your wishes heard by emailing Smith Micro rather than posting to a 3rd party forum?

No.  The chance of being heard is zero in either case.

yep I feel that new features for next version are already decided, they only want to know which ones will have tp work and which will be on beta phase (like P5)

Oh, god! Yes!

That's the worst rubbish ever added to Poser.

mac

exactly what are those things? I never understood...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!First, a way to get rid of that type of rubbish and then 

Quote - I wish they could build a better scrolling feature than holding on to your mouse pick button, while scrolling through the trillions of runtime bits I got...  

Just a sensible browser, please.

Seperate Camera undo

and yeah, those centre of mass thingies, which seem to multiply if you duplicate figures

Either make the face room a lot easier to use or better yet just dump it altogether and free up
the memory and other resources it takes up.  Also do we really need a content room?
Then in it's place license some things like Wardrobe Wizard and Poser Physics.
Things that would be useful to more users..
