Nortons gives a warning on download, but details, nothing really, low number of users, so say nortons. I give it a play later.
Doric.

"think" I looked at this when it was PPModeler! was quite basic back then soon moved on to anim8or then wings, no idea how good it is now but if you want a FREE modeler look at wings or blender, both excelent but blender can be a bit harder to get used to

Don't want wafers, but fig bars are okay.

Looks interesting but from entries on their forum, there were problems getting it running on XP, with no report of it being fixed, so if it won't run on 7 either …
If it works for you & you like it, just accept that it may never be updated. That's the problem with many of these one man projects. I see that even Anim8or, which was pretty popular looks like it hasn't been updated since 2007. Of course, even an established commercial product can go away - see TrueSpace.

I downloaded easily and the virus checker didn't have an issue.
Got it running without any probs on my 32bit vista. Will play around with it tonight.
And see how it goes.

Loaded the v4 head into it easily.

Thanks RorrKonn
I do have Blender already. Just that when I came across this thought I would check it out and ask the question. as I had not seen it before.

The true test is getting it back out with the vertex order unchanged. If that works, then it may indeed be useful with Poser.

True moogal
And it did reasonably well.
Problem I found with it was trying to anything worthwhile.
That didn't turn into a mess. Plus some of its features didn't
work to a very good degree. That was acceptable.
