>>>> But a commenter on my vid made the observation that the underlying technology has been stagnant for a decade, and by and large, I don't much disagree with that notwithstand superfly in 2015. Innovations rather than streamlines have been awfully thin on the ground wouldn't you say?

This does not mention the fact that Smith Micro laid off the entire original Poser team in 2016, and replaced them with a team that was almost entirely unfamiliar with the application. This was a "cost cutting" move, not a performance move. In the three years between the layoff and the time that Bondware purchased Poser, there were only two very minor updates to Poser 11 (11.1 and 11.2, both released by the replacement team). The only "major" feature released in those two versions was a paths palette, that didn't really work as well as it should.

Bondware purchased Poser in June of 2019 and the first initial release was to fix that the Smith Micro releases "phoned home" to an authorization server that SM has shut down. After that Bondare started working on Poser 12, and included some of the original developers on their team. That was a step in the right direction.

Has Poser lost ground? Yes, it has. But that finger points to the previous owner that nearly ran it to the ground. Not to Bondware, who is at least moving it forward.
