The links are impressive and I can see it's potential but it depends on what you are looking for from your hobby.  I can't see it gives a great deal if you are in the business of book illustration where you are looking to create a high detail still.  Yep I know games are great but there are still people who read books and comics and I see little benefit from a realtime renderer in that part of the market.

I also produce calendars, banners and cards for the family and friends, none of which need a real time renderer or game engine.  So maybe some people may move away from Poser if they are into games but making yourself the same as the competition is not always the best way to survive.  Finding a niche in the right market is also possible.

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
