Despite the fact I'm a vendor, I also stand 100% by Poser.
I'm not blind or a fool, I know that the new user, the young kid who starts out now with 3D.. will choose the free software, the latest figure, the big company content!
BUT.. to the people of a certain age, the ones who FOUNDED and created THIS great site... that's irrelevant! We have invested a full DECADE on V4 and Poser techniques. Regardless how many buy-outs happen... I am not willing to start again, and again, and AGAIN from scratch.. with another new figure. Most of us have family and heavy financial obligations.. not just hobby budgets!
So I guess it's a clear choice the one those of us made to stay 100% with Poser and eventually fade away all together into the sunset, vendors and users! I belong to that crazy, dedicated lot myself too! :)
I still recall vividly what happened to Poserpros. I lost access to a long list of purchases there once it was closed. So, I feel happy for Sydd and the RDNA Team and wish them all happy investing with what they got, but I feel sorry for the site as I know it will follow the same fate as the previous buy-outs.
For Poser users like myself it's quite simple.. we just sit back and wait to see how all this is played-out! :)
