NEWS: Smith Micro Acquires Manga Studio, Anime Studio, Poser

Hmmm, does this mean anything at all for the consumer? I'm not sure I quite understand all this changing of hands stuff. I don't believe there was any change in the product itself when TP let go of it.

I hope this means potentially developing new versions or price decreases. Because just slapping a new name on the cover doesn't really seem like it would do anything at all, right?

I don't know about anyone else but I sense I'm going to get duplicate ad e-mail from SmithMicro. They send me stuff for Mac software which I haven't upgraded in three years and I get ad e-mails from e-Frontier (I own a copy of Poser).

I love that Manga Studio was originally called Comic Studio in Japan. HA! We call the same program Manga Studio because we find that more exotic than comics, which is the American word the Japanese used because it sounded exotic.

Meanwhile.. ugh.. Poser. Poser can be used well for art and making comics. Though most of the time the artist is lazy and just uses a simple render in the final art. I think most of the time, it looks terrible. Just look at the War Machine comic from Marvel by Chuck Austin or even his run on art on Elektra. Ugh. I can't believe I bought that crap. (Though somehow it's still better than his writing. Now he's over at TokyoPop selling his crap to manga fans.)

Meanwhile, John Van Fleet seems to be overusing under developed Poser art over at DC sadly. He used to be good.

And there are countless internet artists who overuse Poser for artwork. Then there are the ones who make.. -shudder- supposedly erotic Poser art. Ugh.

Poser is a start, not a finished project.
