On the subject of games.. I really wonder if one of the gaming utilites might replace poser down the road for us all. UT2004 came not only with it's own editor, but a "crippled" version of Maya, which exported 100% to the game editor. PLUS, for $50, we got not only these, and the game, and a headset mic, but ALSO 80 HOURS worth of Maya and UTeditor training. And the UT rendering engine is FAST (instant) and has amazing effects. My "dream" utility now, would be something with posing and prop placement (like poser), integrated into the UT/Maya game developement system. My wife's actually going through the tutor videos 1 by one, and learning maya and making her own map!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
