I had a whole dissertation set to post, thought I posted it and of course it got munged.

We want better rigging of characters for what purpose?
Poser can do some great stills.
Is ANIMATION is the next paradigm for Poser?

If so, do we need to shift our mindset and say, we want a better program for the ease of use in animation.
If that's the case we want characters that are going to be easily posed and rigged for animation. Is this the same model target goal as the artist who needs a 3D mannequin to paint over?
If we get the nicely bent elbows and knees, etc.,so be it.
Will this shift mean more DYNAMIC type clothing?
Will this shift change the types of users that move on and upgrade to Poser 7?
How will this affect Poser's position in the market?
The animation mindset may 'scare off' some users. They may not wish to upgrade. They may shift to DazStudio (familiar content). Some may say why stick with Poser and 'trade up" to the more PRO packages. (Who knows how the market is going to be in the next three years? There may be irresistable deals for the other packages in the future.)

Dont you hate these crossroads?
