I got a reply from them.... A nice corporate response. --- Dear Jody, Thanks for taking the time to point out these things to us. Reflex|DRAMA was made for a very different market than those of Poser. I happen to like Poser and will review the site to make sure we are not "disusin" them. It happens that many companies (mostly in games) need a way to crank out a lot of models according to a certain topology. They want a programmable tool that they can control at every level. Reflex|DRAMA was made for these people in mind. As for the look, I think that it will take us a few months before our automatic generation method can match what is being produced by artists. Poser's models are created by some of the top human modelers in the world using Alias. As a policy, we refuse to generate some flashy renders and animations that were not made 100% with our modeling tool. As for the price, again it is a programmable tool so the price is comparable to other programmable procedural tools. You will soon be able to enjoy a freeware program that will allow you to see the real power of this approach. Only time will tell which approach will be widely used by game and film professionals. Have a nice day. The Reflex Team ---
