The cloth room, I suspect. The matching of a clothing is ever a kind of
animation there. The christmas gift I gave myself was Poser 2012 Professionial,
but I still have to investigate it. The head room seems to be the same mess as
with Poser 8. Even if you have pictures of a portrait and of a profile (which is
a very rare case with net-images) of a person, you cannot really craft a face
from it. If you hit the button to apply the images you have cautiously designed
using the two small input areas for pictures, you yield only very disturbed
faces. The face room is a mess.
Best regards,
Michael

Indeed yes.

It is a move I am considering, mostly for its multi thread ability.

I agree. I never have used it with portraits but only for some morphing
which works pretty well if one is careful because holes can appear
between the head and the neck; and the textures in the Face Room are
below average. So yes, it is the worse feature of the package indeed.

Better check that out, I have Pro 2010 and the multi threading is only
for rendering.
Although it is a big improvement on Poser 8 or was it 9?
Libraries load faster as do scenes, saving is faster too.

Wasn't there also multithreading for the Cloth Room?

feature will attempt to parallelize (is that even a word in English?)
the computations across multiple threads during bending, this will
produce faster bending by better utilizing multi-threads and multi-core
I did not notice any speed difference in the Cloth Room. Both Win Task
Manager and Process Explorer showed about 17% CPU usage when calculating
a simulation and they took the same time.
Maybe they have updated it for 2012.

Yeah, I saw that too. I wonder what that really means. I suppose
/bending/ refers to pose changes from frame to frame.
Somehow I was left with the idea that multi-threading was extended to
the Cloth Room.

Hmm. Seems like business as usual to me. A shame that they discarded the
Poser forums. Those were excellent means to get info and help.

Not in that respect, according to the Feature Comparison Chart it seems.

My reading of the manual is that it for the Inverse Kinetics and mesh
deformation. Nothing to do with the clothes room.

I have not read anything about that.

Having said that. Poser Pro 2010 is much faster than Poser 8 and the collision
offset and depth work better.

Shame. :-(

I must have dreamed it... ;-)

Yes, and at least there is x64 support. I shall consider...

Very nice.
And next are the people of the ancient Roman world with their thousands of
heritages, professions and costumes..? ;-)

Well, maybe you missed earlier views of Gancaloon-related scenes and
their explanations, but in /my/ world there are no Romans to speak of.
They just did not emerge as a leading power.
