So I guess for the most part - Poser is a hobbist/enthusiest tool?  I work in ZBrush and 3DS max - I've used poser for preliminary animatics or storyboards and some small pieces of animation.  I would love to get more into character design and the like (I'm pretty good at modeling and sculpting in ZBrush and Max) - but alas my brain is already as full capacity and I have no time machine to freeze time so that I can learn another program to its full extent.  I just have to say that some of the pieces I've seen are really great and I hope that I can contribute to such a rich field of work.

Thanks for answering everyone!
