Whatever your definition of flourish the Hivewire3D forum is definitely a lot bigger and busier than it was. Before their forum was hijacked there were only a small number of threads that were active. With the new launch, and some excellent software the forums are so active I do not have the time to follow all of the threads I would like to. The majority are far more active than the Poser forum here but then these days that is not saying a lot.

Of real interest, for me at least, is the WIP for the new figures that are due to be added to the Hivewire family and it really gives the community (perhaps I should define that here as well) the chance to have so real input.

When RDNA folded some of the forum users made their way to Hivewire and other forums, not many seem to have made their way here. As is stands at the moment I see far more happening at Hivewire I see more success than Rendo, much as I like Hivewire though, it would be nice to see Rendo at least try to compete.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
