Poser 11.2 -- The NEW Poser :(

[McGrandpa]

ok as Poser uses that for the actual Figure automatically.   Manually naming something that would besmirch the whole stinkaree right?

[Wizzard]

Right, Poser calls the whole enchilada "BODY", Poser is very fussy about capitalization, But, any form of "body" either gets collapsed or ignored, usually messing things up. For example, RPC's, body circle and centre, being able to select, etc.....
I've had a number of autos and motorcycles that called the main part "body", had pieces fly off, turn and parts looked like an explosion just went off. renamed "body" to Chassis, throughout the file. now they work well, and found a few clutch\brake remotes that were hidden.

so just leave "body" out of the names, gotcha!   So that's why  I see names like frame, chassis, hull, and then parts names.   even cars have Hull pretty often

[Wizzard]

Not exactly,  MainBody, subBody, whattabody, nobody, all no problem.
but use BODY, Body body bOdY, or any cap variation, then there's a problem.

It's the one time Poser ignores capitolization.  rArm isn't the same as Rarm. but body is the same as BODY. One of those wierd quirks that endears us Poser users.

And so now, here we are, one year later.  And Bondware is getting ready to release Poser 12!

[McGrandpa]

Ah, the night before Thanksgiving, and I found a new update for Poser 12.   It will upgrade it to 12.0.306.   Several needful fixes are included.   They've fixed the one where it would apply post FX to any render, even FireFly renders, which it is not supposed to apply to at all.   
Anyway, it sure appears that POSER will, per JENN BLAKES flat statement, NEVER work with Genesis content.   Pity that.   I am sure Poser would really flourish with that ability!

[McGrandpa]

ah me.  Poser Pro 11 and Poser 12 *REQUIRE* an internet connection just to run.   Well they do for ME.   Phone Home E.T. I guess.   That one thing leaves me feeling all cold and empty.   I don't have access to interwebs all the time.    Also, Poser 12 does not do DSON or any Genesis stuff at all.   So.  I am back to using just PP 2014 now.    JENN BLAKE and her 'employer' (methinks it is actually DAZ3D) Bondware seem determined to force the market to accept their clearly inferior figures and separate themselves absolutely from the DAZ .duf format and all things Genesis.   Failure and closure is eminent.  Sad.  Very sad.

Dawn and her family are now part of Poser 11.[I don't remember number version] runtime. Also the Hivewire horse. Ok, there aren't the morphs in addition, but that's already great to have them.
Welcome to the fan club one Poser 10 / PP2014.
I always don't see the point to force an internet connection just to use that program. I didn't updated P11 in its latest version. I didn't updated it's runtime consequently. And I don't care.
All I need is a working Poser, and I make with the good and bad points of the Poser 10 interface on a little screen

I set up at least 100 Genesis 2 ladies and a dozen Genesis 2 gents.   I will NOT be forced by an uppity snot nosed schoolgirl to use what SHE wants us to use, even have forced on us.  And give up 40% of what I have already been enjoying use of for years.   Just to use ONE semi-OK  Figure that won't work in PP2014?  Um, nope.   That was a wasted $300-400 investment.  Not going to waste $3,000-4,000 plus the years invested in a GOOD Figure.   I'd rather wipe her snot nose for her.   With a 2 x 4 'tissue' .   Grrrr.Plus they can't even straighten up their screwups with the P12 Library.    I am about to unpin it from the task bar.
