Another factor is render times. If you want a good-qulaity render for your frames, then Firefly is quite slow when rendering - and unti lthe upcoming PoserPro, we haven't had the ability to network render, so it's all had to be done on one computer, which means a LONG time for any decent animation.

It was mentioned in the recent lightwave thread that Beowulf's textures and models are much lower res than Poser's ones, and I think this is another reason. Poser is resource hungry, which is one thing you don't really want when creating a feature-length animation. The lighter your resources, then the faaster your render times, and the easier it is to 'reshoot' problem shots.
