Quote - ... SM is responding to the demands of its market. I know, because I'm actually involved in (CENSORED) and I'm building the new (CENSORED) for SM instead of working on the (CENSORED) or the (CENSORED), which is what I should be doing. I have had many interesting conversations with SM about rendering, lighting, and shading techniques and they don't have enough time to address all the ideas we've discussed because the market has spoken and they want (CENSORED), so that's what they're working on and responding to.

Just to save searching the thread.
Not that this isn't, I suppose, just a clever distraction.
I personally find it potentially quite pessimistic for Poser as an app. But market research is market research (I guess). I say this both as a professional artist and Poser hobbyist.
