@tomyee: The commercial party is not my strong point. A solution that integrates directly VWD into Poser would be much easier for me. I have just written to Nerd3d to see if, already, he would be interested in the program and if so, whether he would agree to integrate it into the version under development. By against, I can already see Carrara users to react because they would not have, in this case, VWD in their favorite program. The problem is not easy. Personally, I'd rather an independent program which remains flexible and integrated with different software. We just need to find a distribution method.

I think if you are just licensing your product to the Poser team, there should be no reason then why you cannot then continue to create an independent version that will support Carrera. So long as you are not selling the entire rights to your code to Poser (although they might give you more money for that) then you should still be free to continue to make the product support other platforms.

Having your cloth sim directly inside Poser would be a good advertisement for the standalone product too, just because it's obviously more prestigious if you can cite the fact that a long-time commercial 3d package like Poser is featuring your code. And great for those Poser users who don't want to deal with dongles or license keys obviously. So many people complain about the current cloth room (including me) that they need to come up with a better solution sooner, not two years later in the next release.
