Realistically, thou, this means that the customer must re-register the software every time he gets a new hard drive or reinstalls Windows. The companies claim that this is to prevent people from copying the software and installing it on multiple machines. It seems that Curious Labs will be taking the same approach as Windows XP: the customer will have to "register" the program (over the Internet or telephone) and the program will send back a lengthy, unique "registration key" which will be stored on the customer's hard drive.

Their Poser 4 products (like all Poser 4 items), will continue to work fine in Poser 5, however, they will not be able to take advantage of Poser 5's proposed new features.Īround this time, rumors about Poser 5's registration process are also released (or leaked). DAZ announces that, due to this new EULA, they will not be developing items for use in Poser 5. Curious Labs defends their position by saying that they need a stricter document to protect their own intellectual property. People become very nervous and very vocal that the EULA is too restrictive and may limit artists from distributing their Poser items. June/ July 2002 (approximately): The End-User-License-Agreement (EULA) is released (or leaked?) to the Poser community. Some critics say that this is way too early and that a release date of December or January 2003 is more realistic, considering the number of features and upgrades that are in the works. June 2002 (approximately): The Poser community learns that Curious Labs is aiming to release Poser 5 in 2002, possibly after the big SIGGRAPH (graphics arts) convention- making the actual release date sometime in September 2002. They don't announce a scheduled release date, but the community hopes it will be released sometime in 2002. They also announce that they will begin work on the next version: Poser 5. They develop patches for Poser 4 and the add-on, Poser Pro Pack (which extends the functions of Poser and includes new features). I'll present the information with a timeline so everyone can get a sense of when things occurred:ġ999-2001 (approximately): Curious Labs is formed when MetaCreations begins selling off their 3-D applications and is made up of people who have been working with Poser for a number of years.

JCH Digital Designs - The Poser 5 Mess The Poser 5 Messįirst, why do I call it a "mess"? Well, the entire development of Poser 5 is full of strangeness: from the restrictive end-user-agreement to the very buggy initial release to the public beta-testing to the non-working features.
