Reviewer comments from Curious Labs' own reviews page: "Poser 4 has been an extremely affordable yet remarkably powerful way to bring 3D character animation to the desktop. . ." "Pro Pack is revolutionary. It's affordable..." "With the inclusion of Poser Pro Pack, Poser 4 can be used more fully by professional animators, graphic designers and illustrators, web designers as well as a hobbyist who wants to enjoy features found in high end applications without having to purchase expensive software." "Version 4 of Poser is an in dispensable tool for computer-generated animation -- and a great deal." "Though you shouldn't expect to sit down with Poser 4.0 and crank out the next Toy Story in an evening, it will give you a relatively inexpensive good start..." Conclusion: Poser is special not just because of its unique features, but also its unique price point. that's why it's such a hit product, and the reviewers noticed this. -Adam
