Er...no offense pal, but, there are LOTS of Truespace users out there, and unlike Max ,Lightwave, and Maya users they don't have tons of options for character creation, cloth simulation, etc... Also I'm willing to bet that the demographics for Poser and Truespace users line up better because Truespace like Poser is affordable and has an easy to learn interface. I'd love to have Lightwave 7. (Seriously considered it.) It's great software and It is pretty affordibly priced but I don't want to spend the extra 1000 dollers on it just to have to learn the most basic operations from the ground up again, and have 3 better versions come out by the time I get to using the features that lightwave has over TS. :) Hell, I haven't even Upgraded TS for 2 versions. (If you could slap LW render engine and animation tools into truespaces interface and modeller I'd be pretty happy.)
