I actually wouldn't charge nearly that much, but would jump on it if someone made a serious offer.

 

Question though, for those in the know: how much of Poser's features are original coding? It's my understanding that the majority of it is open source plug-ins that have been customized for use in Poser. Is that correct or am I completely wrong on that assumption?

A large majority of Poser functionality comes from our team. There are a few obvious external components, such as Pixar Subdivision and Bullet Physics (implementation is a bear by the way - real work, and the Bullet guys think we did one of the best implementations they've seen). Conversely, the technology for the Fitting Room is revolutionary. Bootomline, there's a long list of features that emanate from within. There's a much smaller number of features that we rely on via third party components. The attribution in the front of Poser manual provides more detail.

FWIW, I've tried to reach out to JP about project work or feedback as a part of the beta team but he doesn't seem to want to repsond to my inquiries. Unless he's using another name, I can't find any responses to my messages. My apologies in advance JP if I did miss a response from you.

Great thread BTW.
