Poser seems limited by its own design. Can I tell you how much it irks me to load a non-human object into Poser at it calls it a "figure"? Even clothes and props! It's as if Poser was only ever capable of nekkid mannequins and everything else is a workaround. And the Runtime is so out-of-whack. Every option from textures to morphs are filed under "poses". And are those new boots a "prop" or a "figure"? Augh! it's so e-tarded. They should have stopped that nonsense by v5 when it was obvious no one was using it as an illustrator's dummy anymore. Little wonder Poser is the joke of the 3D world. It just so doggedly played its one-note.

It's probably easier for a full-function 3D app (like Carrara) to gain Poser functions, rather than Poser try to become a full-featured app. They've just made no effort in that direction. Maybe it's not possible without abandoning the dumb runtime folders. On a Mac you are always confronted by the runtime folders....

(ok, enough poser bashing from me... fast forward to end of August already!)
