I agree that poser will probably still have good value, but that's only half the issue. I think "keeping the poser tradition" means value for your money ANDaffordability. There are lots of nice high-end packages like Maya and 3DSMax covering the high-end market, what's special about Poser is the low price that made it accessible to the masses. The reason this poser forum became such a huge community is because of the size of the userbase. And the size of the user base is directly corresponding to affordability of the tool. I want Poser to evolve and improve just like the rest of you do, but I don't want Curious Labs trying to make poser a do-everything package to compete with Maya, because that will leave me with no Poser. And it won't just be me. -Adam
