trueSpace 4 is an excellent piece of software for Poser. It has very good deformation (morph) tools. It contains advanced UV Mapping tools and has some freeware plugins that can do even more for it's UV capability (think having UV Mapper built into the program along with mesh unwrapping capabilities). The renders are very nice (look through the galleries) and support radiosity rendering. There is great potential for the materials (which i have only looked it briefly) as well as support for Layered Texturing. It has many organic modeling tools (such as PlastiForum and MetaBalls) along with NURBS support and Bones. It supports many file formats for import and export and can also save VRML 2.0 files and be used as a web browser for VRML pages. It does lack an OBJ file export (it has an import for OBJ) but there's an excellent utility on the Funstuff pages called Compose that converts COB (tS) to OBJ and vica versa. It's worth checking out at http://www.caligari.com There is a demo available.
