Hello all,

While recently backing up some old drives, I came across my backups of Poser 8, 10, PP2012/PP2014, and felt quite nostalgic.  I have been using D|S for the past few years, and am really excited to see the new features and developments in a recent Poser article.  I'd like to try Poser again, but I do have a couple of questions though:

1). Scale - Does Poser 12 still use the PNU measurement system, or is it scaled for inches, mm, cm, etc?  I'm making many things for D|S in Hexagon and Blender, and am curious as to how I need to scale the obj files when making clothes, morphs, props, etc.

2). Utilities - I do have some old utilities from the V4/M4 days for exporting blank cr2 files, rigging, as well as RTE encoder, etc.  Are these still valid, or are there new rigging/setup tools built in to Poser?  I remember something in PP2014, but it was a bit buggy.  I know that Poser 12 now uses Python 3, so most old utilities no longer work, unless refactored.

3). Cloth Room - Coming from the dForce environment, would it be fairly easy to re-fit a dForce clothing item from G3F/G8F to LaFemme or Dawn?  What improvements have been made to the Cloth Room?


Thanks, -David
