Yes, I already said that.. it runs on 32 bit systems, but the 64 bit renderer requires a 64 bit OS.

And as much as some might want to complain abou Eons "hobby" customer support, when you see big studio houses like Lucasfilms using it for feature films like Pirats of the Carribean, and consider they probably bout 50 copies or so for a renderfarm, the Hobbiest dollar just isn't worth persueing any more.

We saw a massive downshift in 3d app prices and massive increase in  functionality in the 3d app market in the last 5 years.. and many of those companies are strugling to make profits now, because they undersold thier stuff hoping the "mass market" approach would buffer the reduced pricing, but that just never happened.. so we're seeing apps not increase in price, and the companies target the pro markets again, where there is money to support future advancements and developement.

Consider the profit margin, as I mentioned, on a full Max suite, with all the plugins for a studio that buys 5 licenses...EF would have to sell a few hundred copies of poser to make the same amount of cash, and aquiring new users just ain't that easy.

There's plenty of room in the market for a consumer Poser 7, and a Pro community Poser 7 Pro, and if EF can swing getting acceptance in the 3d marketplace, they might be able to make enough cash to really make a lot of the advancements we've all wanted to see in poser.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
