Probably this whole thing would seem strange to somebody viewing from afar, considering both products are made by the same company.

I'll say one thing though, in general there are all kinds of alienating things going on in the span of one version of poser... It's a challenge to think of another piece of graphics software that has so many members only features introduced in such a short amount of time. SSS, EZSkin, Genesis, visible in camera, weight mapping, etc.

Am I wrong?
