I've noticed that here pretty much every other pic is a poser picture. What makes this program so popular? All it seems to do is character related modeling/posing. Am I missing something? Is it super powerfull and easy to use or something?

It's relatively inexpensive, relaitvely easy to learn and there's tons of free content for it.

Also it does more than just character posing and stuff. It can do complete scenes (with landscapes and props,etc) and it also does animations.

Rendered artwork is like sex. You can be working with a top of the line model, but if it is too much work, it kills the mood. If software is like a sex partner, Poser is like a good girlfriend/boyfriend..flexible, a bit silly, down to earth, and not very high maintainance. She can be a bit quirky, but is lovable in a way you have come to expect, even if she drives you nuts at time. :) I think Poser's popularity is due to the fact that it is what it is and isn't always trying to claim it's better than everything else. People can identify with that. It makes the program endearing. And there is more content for it than any other piece of 3d software. Anton

"Rendered artwork is like sex." Ahhh, that explains the high proportion of nekkid people in Poser images. :D

I'm enchanted. I never thought of the program as being endearing but it is, rather. Such a nice answer. Thank you, Anton.

As if guys don't spend their share on expensive toys. Ah, the land of stereotypes. I sometimes forget where I am.

"As if guys don't spend their share on expensive toys." Hey, I resemble that remark! :) My last "toy" was a digital SLR. :D

o.O LOL @ jvrenderer's comment. I never seen or heard about poser before i met my boyfriend now i love to play with it and it is fun... allows me to use my own creativity without needing to use my hands to draw ( I draw pretty good for 12 years old but im 23 years old lol) I have played with it for 4 months or so and it certainly takes my boredom away a lot :) but you guys certainly describe poser almost accurate though i didnt expect THAT kind of descripation :-P

Do you renember the time when your favorite Cowboy-figure fought the big evil knight?Do you renember Big Jim's enormous karate hit?Do you renember regretting that your sister's Barbie had no genitals?Do you renember the imaginable movies you have made in your head while you were playing?---Well I think 3D-artists and especially Poser-artists have still that urge for playing.Now you are a Director and your pets have to go through adventures just limited by your imagination and your render-power.------HAVE FUN!!!I simply couldn't resist pointing that out.

"And there is more content for it than any other piece of 3d software." That's debatable. I think 3ds can give it a run for it's money.
