First of all, since this is my first post ever in more than one year, hello everybody. First of all, let me say that I absolutely don't believe in software/hardware protection schemes. My personal experience as a professional software developer tells me that even the best method won't last. Second, seen from the point of view of an italian customer who couldn't even register his copy of Poser 4 because it was bought after the MetaCreation affair, the promise of full support and ease of use of the protection scheme is just vaporware. Now, why am I angry? I'm not a cg professional. I don't earn my living from the use of Poser. But I have a dream. I want to create a CG animation from one of my novels. I wanted to buy the ProPack just for the integration with LightWave, so that I could render my animation using a friend of mine's professional workstation. Now I think that maybe it would be better for the whole Poser community if I write a new, open source application that does a few very simple things: 1) open the Zygote/DAZ models I own 2) easily pose them 3) render them 4) export to other applications What do you people think about it? Every comment is welcome.
