I agree with RobynsVeil that Cloth Room (and other portions of the app too) could do with a makeover. The way they are is like turning simple cardriving into rocket science, it's too high tech and low-user oriented.

Jargon out, perhaps a Wizard in, essentials upfront, splitting advanced portions into tabs and a more user-problem oriented help (when this happens then do that for such reason). More?

On top of that, most manuals and so on are quite app oriented, they tell you what the menus, scripts, options and parameters are for. Mostly in tech-buzz. And most tuts address quite singular issues. So we don't need more of that, we need different ones, written from a user perspective. How to accomplish ... (sitting woman in gown, adding dynamics to comforming clothes, ...) and for what reason did one take this approach and what are reasonable alternatives. At various levels of expertise.

I take the example of lighting. No one has to tell a photographer about lighting his/her models, and there are sample of books available. But can anyone tell him/her how to emulate lightstrips, softboxes and ringflashes in Poser? And how to match the lighting between the Poser foreground and the Vue background scene? And how to emulate the outdoor lighting in a polar scene?

Well, that's my view. They can make some steps at SM. In the meantime, I can try to contribute a bit myself, in order to stay in the positive energy mode. Answering questions, help others, bundling knowledge in a tut to avoid having to tell the same story over and over again. 

Happy Posing.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
