I am saddened that POSER, which I once grew up with in Japan, is disappearing in Japan.

AIKO,HIRO,MIKI1&2,TeraiYuki1&2, AnimeDoll, NearMe, ChibiBel, kururu, etc. were born in Japan and in Japan Many more minor figures were born in Japan.

And most of those authors are now working in DAZ.

I got into POSER back in the day when 3DCG was not so common, rendering realistic humans at that time, and evolving with new technologies.

Japan is an animation powerhouse. Today in Japan, the toon character is not desired in POSER, and the POSER toon character is not appealing to the Japanese.

In the past, the toon character was also favored in POSER, but now Japan has MikuMikuDance.

It is very easy to create, install and animate a toon character. There are many motion files available, and you can showcase your character on the MikuMikuDance channel on the Net.

If you want to play with toon characters on a personal level, MikuMikuDance is all you need.

In Japan today, 3DCG modeling is being done by AI and broadcast on TV with a quality that is as good as that of the celebrity himself/herself.

Even if we can't match this, we want to create as realistic CG as possible on a personal level. This is the true desire of POSER and DAZ users in Japan.

Therefore, the revival of POSER in Japan requires more beautiful characters and more realistic rendering than DAZ.

I am sorry, this is a very difficult request.
