Both. I'm using it just for fun, but also at work. Poser is often used to create illustrations for the training sessions I do give, I'm creating comics with it for an organisation and I'm using for games. All of them combined earn me a nice extra income.

But never seen anyone that uses it to make full fledge projects that pay.

ContentParadise is only one of the many places my games are sold at. Both BotZ and DragonMania have been created with the help of Poser, most of the graphics & all of the animations & the complete comic in Botz, have been rendered in Poser. The games are being sold through various publishers and are scheduled to be released in stores all accross Europe & Asia. DragonMania already has been released in a number of stores in Europe and Asia. Don't be fooled by the prices asked for the games at CP. Those are special online/CP deals. in stores you pay much more for the games.
