I'm sorry to hear this, especially as he's a major Poser person.  It's a shame he didn't take Poser along with him and manage a smaller, more dedicated team.  Poser being under SM is a bit like Bryce being under DAZ - both were infinitely better under Metacreations.  With both Bryce and no doubt Poser in trouble now, it'd be great if the original people merged and formed a new company selling and developing Bryce and Poser once again.

I know, just dreaming aloud.
Best wishes for the future, Steve.

Yeah, listen, this stinks!!!
Make sure you buy Poser and develop it your own way, Cooperman!!!
