20 years a ago there was Softimage ,Max ,Lightwave and Poser "Bryce, Carrara, not owned by DAZ " TrueSpace n Blender that was difficult to use they gave it a way for free n still no one used it but a very few programmers to sharpen there 3D coding skills.and a few others CGI App's that's been forgotten.

No zBrush ,Maya ,C4D ,Houdini ,DAZ Studio ,Unity ,Unreal.

to day Softimage once the King of 3D is gone, Truespace is a free un supported out dated app. LW ,Houdini is affordable ,Blender is now usable.

Poser ,DAZ Studio ,Truespace are simple limited app's that are stepping stone to the more advice App's. seems now a lot of Poser users step up to Blender.

Poser was considered a simple app compared to main app's like Max 20 years a go. Poser ,DAZ Studio is considered a simple app compared to main app's to day.

Poser ,DAZ Studio is such a very small part of the CGI Universe. if Poser ,DAZ Studio both where gone tomorrow.The CGI Universe would shed a tear for them but keep rotating .but it wouldn't effect The CGI Universe.

Eventually all CGI softwares fades a way but we have a complete CGI Universe to take care of us :)
