You don't need middleware to render sprites out of poser. I've seen your website, you have passable art skills. Why would you want to use poser to make a bunch of out of place, lifeless art anyways?

I know Sun, and I continue to know as the years pass. Everything is always too difficult. Everything that doesn't give you your dream game after 3 clicks is too difficult, or some other similar excuse.

Meanwhile, if you took a few weeks to read through a good C# book, you could then have the skills to do whatever you wanted. There is even a top down 2D rpg starter kit on the XNA website that provides a nice framework for what you always claim to want to make anyways.

It's sad. You'll be in your forties one day, still posting the same things here, while chasing unicorns. You dream big, but won't put 2 seconds of work into it.

*Raised eyebrow* I was under the impression the OP wanted to create and sell a middleware and was looking for ideas about what to make that would sell and didn't already exist. I thought of poser because the people I know who make 3D-modeled graphic novels all use poser, and people who buy middleware are the same people who would prefer to buy 3D model packs rather than make their own.

No, I'm not personally interested in Poser or 3D art at all. At the moment I'm not trying to make a game at all - actually I've mostly gotten over wanting to, except when a game I'm playing has particularly irksome design stupidities or I can't find a single game that look interesting enough to buy and play. I like dreaming; I don't like working alone, have never found anyone who shares my tastes to work with, and am too picky to compromise. I'm fortunately not quite that old - I'll be 30 soon rather than 40 - but if I was going to worry about getting old I'd worry about not having had any kids, not about not having made a videogame, which I don't think is anywhere near as important.

None of which is even remotely relevant to the thread topic...
