It's also possible that Smith Micro just hasn't quite gotten around to merging Poser in with their other product lines yet......perhaps it's nothing more sinister than that.

I guess we'll see in due time how they handle it, but their graphics.smithmicro.com site is fairly elaborate and even well-designed. Looks to me like they intend on keeping Poser separated from their normal day job.
I mean, why no links to graphics.smithmicro.com on their main site? If I just paid six million bucks for a program I'd want to start selling it immediately.
It just seems a bit strange. Not "creepy", but strange. Are they aware of this enormous cult of followers they bought along with it? You'd think they'd want to demonstrate their pride in having acquired it and splash it up on their front page for all to see.
The cult is a little apprehensive about it, after all, and I'd think if they were aware of that, or were concerned about that,  they'd have the idea to at least make it look like they're not too embarrassed to parade it out in public for all to see.

Well, speculation is getting the better of me. I hope I'm way off target and they give it the attention it's always deserved and turn it into the app it should have become years ago. For all I know their developers could be working extreme overtime turning it into Houdini, Blender and Maya all rolled up into an improved an easy to navigate interface, while cutting render times in half AND not breaking previous version PZ3 files.

Then again, their board could be a collection of sick sob's who have been conspiring for years, even going so far as to  setting up Smith Micro as a front,  just waiting for their opportunity to acquire and subsequently destroy Poser in the most horrific display of intentional ineptitude imaginable.
