'I'm surprised that they didn't try and buy Poser' I'm not surprised in the least. It would be like buying a ukelele to turn it into a Fender Stratocaster. If you wanted to get into the software market, would YOU buy Poser? As has been pointed out innumerable times in here, what Poser really needs is to be re-written from the ground up to make it compatible with current technology. If CL can't do that, why would someone else pay for it and try to do it. And if CL CAN do it..... why didn't they? mac
