Quote - I apolgise, it seemed to be on the sarcastic side, plus i am trying to DL the content for the third time and am getting a bit peeved with it all.
As for the mouse view control thing, it took me a while but i have got used to using the mouse to move/zoom about a scene with the other softs i use, and was hoping it would make it to poser at last.
and though alt mouse does something its not much use really as the camera just rolls all over the show/Einzy.
I totally agree, the wheel should zoom. And other shift/ctrl options should allow panning and stuff. I'm not sure that the mouse button alone can/should move the camera, because then how do you grab items and drag them? I hate interfaces that make me change modes between grabbing items versus pan/zoom/rotate with the mouse in the pose window itself. I'm fine with pressing on those hotspots to pan/zoom/rotate - seems faster to me. But I haven't used too many other 3D apps, and other apps may have it all working cleanly.
It can't hurt to post a suggestion on the SM support page. It might be this is already on a list somewhere, just to far down below the other priorities. I have visibility into the enhancment request/bug database, and there are plenty of excellent suggestions. They will not get implemented unless enough people speak up, so they know what the market wants.
I can tell you that based on the overwhelming feedback from users, the theme of this release, if I had to pick one, was "Please make my bloated 1.5 terabyte content library instantly accessible."
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
