I believe that the notion of marketing is 'alien' with them. They have much 
to learn... the hard way :-)

Yes, that is an interesting list of artists, some average imo, but also a 
few outstanding works.

Apollo is a great contribution to the Poser community indeed. It has a 
couple of weaknesses that I hope will be ironed out in the future, but there 
is hardly an equivalent for real character building.
I found (I think) a better way for belts and such in Poser, which is 
simply - when importing the belt object and setting its parent - to check 
the "inherit bends of parent" at the bottom. Then you can proceed with 
tightening it around the waist in - say - the first 10 frames of the 
simulation, and only afterwards change the pose of the figure. You may have 
to adjust the position of the belt during that phase however, as it may tend 
to drift a bit uncontrollably. So, it remains a careful business to perform.
