It's an exclusive partnership, we worked together to make this happening which is really great.
To integrate Reality with Poser there was the need to add an Add-on Framework that didn't exist prior of Poser 9 SR3.
We sat down and worked all the details. I told them that the old Python scripts menu was not enough, that we needed a way of installing plugins in a way that makes the process dead simple for the user. We needed a way of adding the plug-in to the loading sequence of Poser so that the plugin is available without the user doing anything.
Plus I needed a whole slew of hookups in the Poser system to have control on what happens to figures, objects, materials etc.
They made the magic happen. It is really a fantastic collaboration, which continues today because we are constantly improving the framework.
On a side note, I got to meet Larry Weinberg, the original creator of Poser. He is the guy who started all this. That was an honor.
Cheers.
I do like that you got to work with SM which seems really cool. I'm just not a Poser person right now, and I guess I'm having that universal gut-kick reaction, like 'Who invited to smelly kid to the cool table?'
On a different note, is that the same as the Weinberg family who produce/finance a lot of the independant movies in Kali?
