I have a strong belief in the concepts and functionality of Apollo. I don't think we've seen a fraction of the full potential of this model, or what could be achieved in a female version with those ideas.

As with any figure that is released, further development expands its usability and creates ever more versatility - Capsces Cole morphs represents one of the stronger products that did appear quite early on for him, and there have been great textures and poses - I only wish there was more of such quality.

I too think the events of the past week have played out very badly for Apollo and Anton. In my laymans observations of anything that has a public face, there is always a lot more that goes on behind the scenes that ultimately influences the turn of events - business and personal relationships, personalities and histories and all that stuff.

In the end, as more of a consumer of 3d content than anything else up to now, my main concern is doing the projects for which I got into Poser in the first place. I identified Apollo as having all the potential elements I was looking for in a male figure (incidentally the same ideals that e-frontier used to use to market the default P6 Jessie and James -  that with them you could make just about any human character you could imagine - They don't use that ideal any more).

Apollo comes closest to those ideals anyway IMO, far more so than any of the Daz figures - different approach really I guess, but one that really makes sense to me.

I'm pretty sure there will be further products in the near future. I've been developing a lot of different character types for my own work using Cole, and I have been considering putting these up either as freebies (as I've done with a few ADS poses for default Apollo) or for sale - not quite sure which yet.

I truly hope we haven't seen the last of this great figure or it's creator. I'd lay money on the fact that if they both did suddenly fall off the scene, someone else would step in very quickly with a similar idea or approach. JMO
