Eclarke's assessment is correct.

The $$resources$$ required ,for such a complete overhaul of posers, animation tools would be tremendous and likely break all previous content to be viable.

And even if Bondware could afford such a core rewrite. there focus would likely be on better content creation & rigging tools for new vendors as the "fitting room" clearly is not up to the task for creating retail quality clothing content.

The poser character animation ship has sailed.

The Character animators are long..long gone.

Sure there may be a few lingering loyalists hoping for a "miracle" regarding the character animation tools, But they wont be enough to get the current owners to focus on Character animation and frankly it would be unwise for them to do so.

The majority of the poser core user base does not care about procedural walks or lipsync& facial motion capture etc.

Just as the majority of the Daz studio core user base does not care about procedural walks or lipsync& facial motion capture and frankly Daz Studio has far better,modern tools for animating figures at this point

With all of the competition ,in this market, bondware should focus on keeping the current ,core poser user base from further diminishing !!

Poser will never "steal" users from Blender, Iclone or even Daz studio or Adobe fuse etc . Not with any new super sexy white girl ,base figure or with a fancy new walk generator.

I spend alot of time in other online user communites and shane said something extremely wise earlier about how people moan and complain in the various forums and tinker with alternatives ,but never actually switch programs 99% of the time.

Even when the economics are highly favorable (like switching from a paid to a better featured free application)

most people, in this market, will never..ever leave their myopic little comfort bubbles.
