I too would like to see a better integration between Poser and other 3d apps - with 3ds max in particular. In any event, I don't think that Poser would fade from the 3d scene anytime soon - even if it were completely dropped by Smith Micro.

The large community of Poser users would continue to keep Poser alive until someone else would eventually pick it up again. I know I will continue to develop content for Poser until the end and I think many others will do the same.

So in the final analysis maybe it doesn't really matter what Smith Micro will do with Poser because the 3rd party aftermarket has always been Poser's life blood and is the reason Poser is still here and kicking this long after it's first release :)
