maybe we need an different approach to poser altogether. that it has a basic structure, more or less like it is now (with all due improvements of course, like bloodsong and soulhuntre to some extent wrote), and a plug-in system that enables users who have money or interest in pro functions to buy them as they like/need them. for example a new raytracer: i don't need it, i won't buy it. but i can still use poser rendering engine. or direct vertices control as plug-in. or bone system, or face expressions system, or batch rendering, or... you name it. there are lots of talented guy who could make some really nifty stuff.
