Well, I liked the name "Curious Labs" and the "labrats". it indicated a company which was creating and exploring new technologies or a new way of working. "e-frontier" is fine, too. Frontiers are always exciting places where things are growing and changing. We need frontiers. I'll disagree with the probable troll above. (Evidence for trollness is new name and apparently doesn't even use the program.) Poser is not a lame name. It says what the program does: poses figures, and it does it rather well. Just like Painter is for painting, Poser is for posing. Both programs can do much more, but that is what sets them apart from the herd of modeling or rendering programs. Sometimes programs grow, though. PhotoShop started out as a simple editor for fixing bad photos. Then around version 3 it added layers and the whole application transformed into a creative program rather than an editing program. Poser is transforming. The new lights and materials go far beyond moving a body in space and snapping the picture as reference. Is a new name a reasonable step? By version 7 perhaps. But there is also a danger to consider: losing and confusing a large customer base built up over a decade. This is the sort of thing where I'd want community involvement... and the advice of a linguist familiar with the layers of meanings associated with the words set forth as possible names. A punster would be a good choice. If anyone can derail or mock a name, a punster can! Carolly
