Anyone in business will tell you they do not ignore exsisting user bases, that would be foolish! SO many things in this world are sold as add-ons, accessories, etc. SO MANY...billiions are made each year by that practice. "poser and bryce community is relativly small worldwide compared to MAX or Lightwave." Ouch...sorry to be the one to open your eyes; let's look at galleries and how many pics are in each... Lightwave 3,581 3DSMax 8,632 --- Bryce 40,773 Poser 92,131 This kinda ratio exsists in just about every online communtiy that is not high-end specific. It's simple, how many 3DSMAX's can you sell at $1,000-$3,500 and how many units of bryce can you sell at $80-$300?? A LOT. I've visted online communtites in Russia, Germany, UK, Denmark, etc. The same kind of ratio exsists there also, Poser and Bryce are the biggest. Beacause, they are the biggest bang for your buck, period. Their not the biggest in the professional industry, but that's not the point. (they weren't meant to be) Point is, how many units and users are there out there that could use this? Again, a lot. Curious Labs has done one of the smartest things I think they could ever do, make it so other (high-end) programs can more easily import Poser stuff. If they had followed Wolf's way of thinking, that they had an outdated piece of software and did nothing, then Poser would be way less than what it is now. Again, your reason why there is no Poser/Bryce plugin misses the point. It doesn't matter if you have the best/newest/most expensive piece of software on the newest/fastest/64 bit computer. If you can't draw with a 99 cent pencil, you aren't going to be able to draw with a 10 dollar pencil. Although, yes I admit, there are some truly great 10 dollar pencils out there, lol. ;o) We all aren't going to own the new Mac and a $1600 piece of 3D software. Most people will probably never do that, and that's cool. But to discount a tool that still works well, just because its not new...is the wrong thing to focus on imo. Well, I think its an oversite to think an add-on for an older program would not sell, anyways. AgentSmith
