Oh I see! Well, there is a reason there is a dwindling number of Poser vendors. Personally, I blame SMS for their inability to position Poser in the market. I believe SMS has difficulties identifying who the Poser users and content creators are, and that became more evident with their pricing on the Pro version at $600, which by the time was close to the entry levels of the likes of Cinema4D. And then we had SMS advertising Poser as a "complete" professional character animation tool, when it can't even get IK to work properly, resulting into feet sliding everywhere. They advertised about Rooster Teeth adopting Poser in a commercial animated series, which [I think] was a bad example, because they quickly moved away from Poser after season 1, adopting Maya instead for the subsequent seasons, having to remodel all characters to be able to move on. SMS thinks that is good advertisement, while I believe that plays against Poser because Rooster Teeth has chosen a truly professional tool right after completing season 1, which to many speaks for itself.
But perhaps the biggest blow came from the release of Poser Pro 10 with unusable rigging tools. It was literally broken, and was never fixed. If you need to make a JCM using the in-house tools, good luck with that. If you try to delete a morph, you have no control over how many will actually be deleted - not only on the clothing, but on the base figure as well. I could keep going, but you get the point. That's when some content creators simply gave up on Poser. Lady Little Fox has written a note about this in one of her tutorials, claiming that was the reason she moved on from Poser. SMS has only decided to fix things a few months after Poser Pro 11 was released, because I was pressing them hard, showing them videos of my products getting crippled by Poser broken tools. Poser only got usable again in P11 SR-4 or 5, but how many people have given up since Poser 9?
To summarize, SMS has failed to place Poser in the market, failed to recognize who their customers were, and failed to keep Poser in working conditions for years. They have also failed to recognize DAZ as competitors, and as a result, Poser lost its position in its own market. But ultimately, they have failed to listen to their customers, and continued repeating the same mistakes from the past. As a result, when we look at the official Poser forums, we find as many feature suggestions as we find people infuriated by Poser's inability to reach nowadays expectations. Take, for example, how Reallusion took iClone from mediocrity to state-of-the-art after mere 2 version releases. Where was SMS when all this happened? I rest my case.
