I would definitely be harmonising with you, Jani, if we were to have a chat about this over coffee somewhere... I have a HUGE issue with how commercialised large portions of this whole art-form has become. Thank goodness for Blender and for the Blender "we can make it ourselves" mindset.

I do have to say that there are a lot of tools I use every day developed by Poser utility developers such as Ralf and Phil and Bagginsbill and Royston, tools that are very reasonably priced or even free. Which to me says not all are greedy money-grubbers... and their offerings are brilliant.
