there is one being developed - Antonia. A bunch of people are working on this figure. She will bend with realism like no other Poser figure ever has. There are very talented artists working together on morphs, poses, materials, textures, and clothing. But it's way early yet, and everybody is doing this in their spare time.

can I contribute somehow ? I am currently in the development status of a new project, where I quickly need to be able to "click together" a 3D figure that looks somewhat like a real life human.

I believe that Poser is the right software to do this. Of course there are tons of other 3D software modellers, but I don't want to start from zero for each new 3D figure.
That's why only Poser, Daz and/or Quidam is an option, since the word "quickly click together" is the magic phrase.

At this stage I think that Poser with a figure like Apollo and then possibly Antonia it's definitely the way to go.
