I'm going to address the original question, then I am going to butt out. A good way to measure where the direction of a product is going is to go over to their financial section and read what is being said in their conference calls. You might also want to check out the SEC filed financials, but the conference calls are where management discuss the future endeavors of the company. The company is Smith Micro, their stock symbol is SMSI. If you are going to be putting a significant amount of your time and talent into using a product, and are interested in what it's strategic placement in a company is, that's a good place to start.

Yeah, I'm going to have say that I don't think that will work in this case. It's what I keep pointing out to people who want SM to make better figures. SM is a software company. Poser isn't even the top earner among the SM products, as SM isn't even a computer graphics software company.

Which is exactly the problem. And SM isn't all that big a company, they pulled in less that $24 million in revenue last year. And Poser was an insignificant part of that, the whole graphics division is now doing less than $300K per quarter. So for people asking about Poser Development, you have to keep that in mind. The development team just can't be all that big.

I did promise to butt out. I think that issue needed to be raised. Later.

You can see who the development team is by looking under the Help Menu and finding About Poser. I think the current team is about six people. I don't know if that's a big team or not. Blender, for example, is done primarily by volunteers.
