Quote - If Blender is free and it's a modeling program.....Then why not make Poser 9 an integrated program with both modeling and posing capabilities?

I would pay 200 for Poser 9 if it had

-Modeling of all types including metaballs
-Superb rendering engine
-Posing and animation tools just like it does now but improved tools
-Included(free as opposed to the one the physics package that exists but you have to pay for it) Physics engine

There are packages like that and they cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars ;o). Max, Maya, etc. We are mostly hobbyists, after all.
