Jeff ... because it renders faster! The Max renderer is really fast and it renders much better then Bryce or Poser. ...and if you want to make really good animations or complexe szenes Poser is not the right prog for it. Poser is great for posing figures, applying clothes or props but it is not able to get your szenes done quickly. Thats the reason why lots of people use other progs for their works.
