Fortunately, most of the figures I need are at a distance, and BlobMan
serves nicely, the only time I use poser is on the rare occasions I need a
close up.

Possibly the timetable was not realistic?

It's never a pleasant experience to explain anything to management.  A book
keeper that rose to the presidents position in a tractor company has no
concept of the real world. (Jerry Smith, J.I.Case Co.)  But I would think
having a few bruises from a later than expected release would be better than
killing your customer base with a product that doesn't work.

POVRay team, take your time.  Each release is better than the last, which
far beats a bunch of bandaids for a mummy.
