I sem to be readin the whole Poser Pro announcement in the other direction... I don't see it as a step towards turning Poser into a 'pro' package, but rather tweaks anf ixes to help pros intergrate Poser into their workflow in other packages. Sure, that means that certain parts of the native Poser workflow are going to be altered, but the main thing is the plugins for other apps to get seamless import of Poser resources into their programs. That, for me, was the major seller. I'm not seeing this as targeted at the hobbyist market who already use Poser, but at the pros who might consider using Poser if its import into their program was better.

I dont' think I've noticed anyone else taking this tack in looking at the Poser Pro news, so maybe I'm just looking at it wrong.
