I saw the "Nargron Race" render and yes it is good. However, besides the back ground created in Vue 6, there is not a lot of FINE detail for the character creatures. While nice, doing models like creatures can be (certainly not always) much less demanding than human realism and that is what I have been referring to. Programs like Vue 6 Infinite are very amazing and well designed programs that I certainly would recommend. Mainly though, it is a background/world creator. This is why Poser needs to split and be at least as high-end as Vue 6 in the next 5 years. 

While Modo is indeed nice, it has a bit of a learning curve some may need professional training with. There are not yet enough books and DVD how-to beginners guides (at least that I know of) to really get a NEW user into it and realize the potential at their hands.

I still will debate the fact about Poser needing to split for this very reason. It is brand most are comfortable with, most will automatically think that with enough time and practice they can learn it without the need of professional training courses at a university or studio. Plus, if they split it as I always maintained you can use BOtH the current Poser library for years to come and the newly modeled high-poly figures or whatever they come up with to re-boot the Poser program.

If you read my other 2 main posts that was the whole point. One entry level version at the $2-400 price range, one ULTIMATE version at $800-$1000 price range. As I said too, yes you would be marketing to the top consumers and NOT the "mass market" typical computer buyer. Only a current cutting edge computer at least 5+ thousand would run software like this but that's the specific market they should go far with by using the split. In other words the top 5-1% of computer users.
