Thanks, Glitterat3d, for your answer to my question.

Yesterday I had a ton of clear thoughts about what I'd like to see done to Poser but, right now, my brain isn't focussed. This (as is the other discussion on a wish list for Poser) is a fascinating read. It also serves to show me how few of Poser's features I really know about. As well as Poser I mainly use Carrara and Iclone with Hexagon and I try 3dCoat occasionally.

There is nothing tantalising, I can assure you, that I'm holding back on but I'll leave my 'essay' for a later date. Just one thought, though. There was a time when I recall the basic 'VUE' software being released with different content themes (such as fairytale, I think). Poser could be released in similar content editions: Sci-Fi, Fairytale, Toon, Children's, Medieval, Western, Steampunk, Modern Everyday, etc. The content packages would be assembled from existing content plus commissioned work. The content creators, currently, are lone operators, as far as I can tell. Why not invite them to team up in creating official packages? Customers could get one base content package of choice and be able to buy others later - as a whole or bit-by-bit.

Professional Mocap files should start to be provided for sale also. (OK I'm re-inventing Iclone now, but why not?)

Lots of legal issues would need to be addressed with content developers but there are whole sweeps of history that could be organised into themes for sale.

So, there's a mini-essay!

Poser is very versatile, so any version should be able to produce the genres you name. And there's nothing to prevent creators from teaming up and collaborating to produce those genres. It's a good idea.
