Poser content market: what is happening is under the eyes of everybody. Little factoid for those who do not go to DAZ forums: Stonemason wrote that he has terminated Poser support and has uninstalled Poser; I do not think that there is anything more to add.

Poser itself: it is fast heading towards Bryce territory, a twilight zone of being neither alive nor dead. As long as you have a computer capable of running it you can keep running it; the wisdom of self marginalizing into a shrinking community is left to the pondering of the readers.

So....Stefan has gone DS exclusive. I wish him well. Wow. The world didn't end. The man does brilliant work, but he is also one man. I'll miss his work, and he'll miss my money. I'll find alternatives, and he'll find other customers.

And as I just said in the Vue forum as wails and gnashing of teeth have begun with E-on being acquired by Bentley Systems, let us add chaecuna's and a few others death bells to Poser's demise, which has ringing across the valleys since P5...6...7...8...9...10....and continues as P11/Pro-2016 heads for the finish line..... Nuff said there.

As for the topic of the thread.... Mesh never expires. It's a resource, not a be all and end all, unless you are a modeler. That isn't the ground Poser is on. It fits into pipelines, and turns out acceptable figure animations much quicker than commissioning custom would get you. As long as there is the need for such, Poser has a home.
