One thing to say.... Change the name of the program for **** sake! It is very unfortunate that the name of the program purports an unfortunate meaning, being a "poser" in the 3d art community. Probably too late for CL to do that. The history is there and it will always be. People could have made a huge market making products for MAYA or 3DSTUDIOMAX, but they cost too much. If they could have a cool name like "Vortex", or even "BlackHat, the advanced character plug-in for Shade 7", maybe the stigma would subside. As it is, Poser is practically a plugin for MAYA, 3DSTUDIO, CINEMA4D, and VUE Professional. I know people use it for those apps. I would be willing to bet that making a working figure for Poser is a lot harder than making one for these higher end apps. Take a look at Bloodsong's book to see what I'm talking about.
