IMVHO FFRender can't produce animations of sufficient quality (and low cost) even for the demographic which is willing to view 3d-rendered animations, and it's difficult to underestimate what said demographic will accept in games and films (e.g. appleseed). I was appalled at the toon renders in one of the appleseed films, but anime fans went nuts over it, as usual. poser toon renders are far superior IMVHO, but no studio can afford to finance such a project, due to minor tech difficulties and the learning curve involved. yes, poser users can produce retouched single-frame renders of impressive quality, but that method can't be used to produce an entire film, even with a staff of several hundred korean or chinese techs IMVHO. nobody is eager to be the first one to throw the necessary money at such a project using poser, as long as cheaper renderers are currently available at the chinese and korean studios.
