Poser ownership: as far as I know a German 3d graphics company (egi.sys AG) provided the core metacreations poser team the funds to purchase the rights to Poser. The Poser team is in the US and is Curious Lab. www.curiouslabs.com/egisys.html explains it in more detail. Cacheforce: I own their poser libraries, but don't use them much. I think they were worth the money (a lot of figures for my $150?) but they are not as nice as the Zygote figures. But they are not bad. Just don't expect to get a CD full of Vicky's.
