I'd like to flip the script, so to speak. Could it be that Poser is really more powerful than point-click-load-render? Have you/we/us/them really tapped into its power? Is there some tool, script, way of doing something that would push this app over? Think: Who ever would have thought to use Poser's transparency maps with hair? Z-Toons? "Fake" HDRI lighting? Who's really fully tapped into .CR2 hacking? JCM? ECM, etc? Remote control deformers? Animation? Could it be those "Modellers" see the potential in Poser and they've become leary, afraid of the future? Have we, because we're just "hobbyists" (Oh, dang. There's goes Anton screaming ;) )become afraid of the future? I think this may be a different dead horse.
