Nick, It's business as usual. I lost my job in Vegas when the company I worked for decided they didn't have the sales skills to make their gaming division profitable. They bought up a bunch of small businesses and then dismantled them (basically as office supplies, furniture, and scrap materials) because they couldn't sell the goods in the same manner that they sold their primary product. Their sales people knew locks, but they didn't know games, and the division stopped making a profit as a result of botched sales and poor customer service. Such is life, but I figure that Poser, and Metacreations will probably be better for the split. Maybe a small company who can afford to spend the time concentrating on the product will pick Poser up. If Metacreations can come up with a really great 3D web format, then that's great. VRML sucks, and a better format would really fill that gap. I was worried when I thought Poser was gone for good, but I figure the future of this software is pretty secure. (As long as they continue to offer it at a hobbist's price tag)
