besides all legal issues, I'm happy to sell you a Poser licence for $3500 is that turnes it into a high-end app. Or $10.000 (full Houdini licence).

Poser is a dedicated tool, a Virtual Portraying Studio. Like Vue is dedicated to Virtual Landscaping. It's part of a pipeline, like ZBrush or a standalone renderer or After Effects. Poser is not used for studio work, and not used for cinematic work. So what. It has freelance (or hobbyist) artists as its target group.

But why does everyone so simply agree that it's not a high-end tool? I guess it contains more code than the space shuttle.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
