Renderotica

I just bought your grouping plugin not too long ago, and there seems to be no advantage for this program over DS's own group option.

When adding items for a group with the Daz version, I can select all items to add into a separate group and the whole operation is done within three clicks; however with your plugin, I have to select each item individually, with the marked disadvantage of not being able to one, close down the plugin and lose all tediously added groups, and two, it won't save with the scene or even on its own!

There are no advantages with this over the internal grouping option within Daz Studio, and seeing as this shop doesn't give refunds unless you don't download the products that you bought, negating any practical way to test the product to see if it even works while defeating the entire purpose of even offering a refund!

But that's not on you...

But still, now I'm stuck with a plugin that is a hassle to use, as I don't want some eyesore floating about while working, and you can't even save the groups that you had to tediously make in the first place!

So what is the point of this plugin?

As its practicality ends once you find out that you lose all groups, and you can't even save them, that alone kills any small advantage that this plugin has going for it.

EDIT: I was quite harsh with my criticism, I said that the script was useless, I should not have been so harsh, I should have waited 'til I was no longer irritated before posting this.

I wasn't frustrated when I posted this, the only thing that DOES frustrate me is the idiotic refund policy, but that's another issue...

I do not see the advantage with this product as it still doesn't save your work, so it doesn't matter how it uses nodes or stranded hair, it's also like I said, you have to manually input every single node individually, instead of simply selecting multiple nodes to add to a group.

I don't lose track of my groups, as I simply use the scene tab to keep tabs on them, sure this script helps with hair and nested bones, but all the work that goes into making these groups is undermined by the fact that you'll have to **tediously input every node again individually, every time you open up your scene because it doesn't save your work, so it's as I've said any advantage that this script has is undermined by the fact that you cannot save your work.

**(I can easily have at least 25-50 nodes grouped in a large scene)

That's the main issue that this script has, and the one you won't address, as stated with the last person that posted about this product.

You seem to be really frustrated yourself, as you are sticking with your assumptions about my mood, and snide condescending remarks, which does nothing to change my mind about the product, as I was criticising the product, not you personally...

I read the product page, which is usually where there's pertinent info such as the inability to save grouped objects within the scene, when every single script of this type that I ever bought has the ability to do so... the fact of the matter is that this script's usage ends once you have to reload your scene, it's like having to reconstruct your scene all over again, and again every time you want to work on it, and if you have a heavy scene, it's impractical, as you're better off with DAZ's own grouping system.

The script would be much more useful if we could save our meticulously built groups, I mean, what is the point of painstakingly building up dozens of groups, knowing that you'll have to redo the very same thing over again once you reload your scene?

If you choose to take criticism about your product personally then that's your choice, as for me I don't care enough to take anything said online personally, so I chose not to, plus I have the added bonus with keeping my blood pressure stable; sure I will get irritated by a product, (And I definitely was with this one) but it would be pointless to work myself up as you've assumed, as it's better to get pissed off at inanimate objects rather than people.

And I will continue to criticise a product when I've bought it, that's a given, as it's not like this is a freebie script that I downloaded, so if you plan to sell your work, you should expect criticism of your work, that's what artists/shop keepers have to expect.

FYI: I enunciated my words only to illustrate a point, and not for venting anger, as we are not the only ones reading this exchange and most net-folk only skim for keywords rather than read posts in their entirety.
