Well, Poser5 came back from it's NDE and works well, and CL have (cough) joined forces with a big Japanese 3D manufacturer that will certainly create its own line of baebes, so what's the future of Studio? Idea: buy Bryce and allow people to import Poser stuff in there, but through Studio. I suppose next step will be a new line of Millenium figures with Claude Bonet maps or so for the joints, and plugins for LW, C4D, Max, Maya, XSI etc, but all through Studio. That's called: doing business. Besides: Studio was released as an alpha, and most people tried to use it as a full app. I think concurrence for poser is good. As is concurence for Studio also. Buy B5 for less than $50 with that plugin for Poser content included is great. But Bryce does not export to what I want...

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)
