Quote - IMVHO, because Poser is a hobbyist application, it will never make a lot of money for its owners. If we were professional graphic artists, we would all be on Poser 7 because (a) the company would pay for it, and (b) earlier versions would no longer be supported.

Actually, if I were a pro gfx artist, I'd be using (mainly) Modo/Maya/Shake/etc... and for the exact same reasons you state. And it'd be on an eight-core Mac Pro w/ a huge color-calibrated monitor (the gfx artists here @ work use 'em).

I mean, if the boss is writing the checks, I can damned sure justify the higher-end gear.

Quote - e-Frontier made no money from existing Poser users who didn't buy Poser 6 from them or upgrade to 7. Likewise, Smith-Micro will make no money from existing Poser users until a new version comes out. (I doubt that CP makes a lot of money.)

I suspect that CP does okay, income-wise. Otherwise I agree.
