"poser sells itself a lil short, imo; it's a very capable full render engine. they should try and broaden their marketing beyond just the people figs. more than just an add-in for Vue."
Honestly there truly is Zero market for poser outside of the poser/Daz niche in which it resides.
As a person who owns and uses "Pro Apps" C4D,Lightwave,Modo I can attest that People
and organizations that use these apps use the for very specific Goals
MODELING:
creating 3D assets for games/ArchVis
that are going be either rendered in a high end render engine by the creator for a client.
or Delivered for Deployment by other pros to be used in a Game or a VFX shot in a movie
production( Iron man, Transformers etc)
or a Full 3D animated Movie production with All in house
proprietary Character animation Systems( Pixar,BlueSky etc)
ANIMATION Again these pro pipelines are long established and set up for the types of models/ rigsthat are produced and rigged to be Deployed in the aforementioned deliverables
such as CG buildings Vehicles Complete Environments for comping etc
as well as VFX system Like particle and fluid systems and other Dynamic Simulations.
Trust me they truly have no need for Poser/Daz Studio.
Yes we see the occasional "poser sighting"
but this is usually either some Limited in house
department using default figures like P6"James"
for a news broadcast Visualization or a small job that has been Farmed out to a Small business like where they need some animation quickly done but have no need or budget for some custom figure/animation from a real VFX studio.
Cheers
