It's been an on-going struggle with e-frontiers about their SDK for a
long time. I think this is Eovia's reaction to what E-Frontier
started by not supplying them what they needed.
In greater numbers, E-Frontiers is now missing on people that would
have brought Poser to use that content in Carrara.
With greater support of Poser content, Eovia simply doesn't need
another company's product while at the same time increasing its
readily available models for purchase by many, many fold...brillent
move, I think. I don't own Poser, but I do think it's clungy and
burdensome to bounce between apps for each modification to a scene.
I haven't tested out the replication and particles (don't even know if
C5 has static particles). But probably within the next version or
two, cloth and hair/fur ability may be included directly into the
program without the need of a plugin.
