As long as people spend wads of money on Poser no matter how pricey, it will never die but neither are they making the program any better with all the money they make off it. It amazes me the amount of greed each time this software has changed hands, it's like, once they make their millions, they dump it and move on.

Poser is so clunky and out dated I don't see how it can last much longer and compete. Shame that they never upgraded the interface only adding and few bells and whistles and a name change. I will never upgrade from P5 no matter who owns or what they add to it.

D|S is putting Poser to shame with it's shiney code and for free. You don't need plugins for rendering and it animates better than Poser. Im starting to like it.

Not sure why people think plugins are needed to make render in D|S. I find that laughable. Many plugins have already been added with the new release.
