I think people are kidding themselves that poser will break into the professional market.  When an advert is looking for small 3d segment Poser may be used.  That doesn't it make it professional, just cheap and easy to use. When it comes to serious, creative, one of a kind animation, poser is left wanting.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themself. Poser has been left behind while other apps have pushed the envelope.  It's just a matter of time before the majority smell the bland coffee.
