J.B...you've been silly. Poser is a very nice "cottage" industry. most likely, it will never compete with the "big dogs", in the movie industry. it is more like the thomas kinkaide of programs....and, the folks that like it, and, buy for it are a loyal bunch. even if cl had dreams of going way technical, and, high tech....they would lose that firm hobby based clientele. and, among that clientele...there are those who yearn to create for poser...to create to support their poser habit. i think kupa is smart enough to know that he must please his base audience, and, perhaps, extend to a larger audience, as well. me...i like that face maker...i hope it works. for me, that is the major reason to upgrade. Pop...Pop...Poppi!!!
