Quote -  I doubt that many professionals would be willing to spend time animating in Poser.

‘Pro’ and ‘Platinum’ are just terms that merchants are fond of using when they try to sell a more expensive version of something.  

Of course, a true professional wouldn’t need training material to learn to animate. 

I wonder why you don't just learn to animate in 3d Studio Max? It’s vastly better than Poser and has superior training material available. If you're addicted to Poser content, Cinema 4d and it’s 3rd party Poser plugin might be the way to go. 

Hmmmm, you know you're right.  Now that there is poserfusion or whatever it's called.  I could just take the beautiful 3d figures/props that poser has and use them in 3dsmax.
