Just a note!

I bougth Poser Pro 2014 Game Dev back in the days, in the "PPGameDev-P10-PP2014-P10-Debut-Feature-Comparison-Matrix" it says, under the chapter "Library and Included Content"  (over 5 GB) that it is is Royalty Free for Game Inclusion.

Eh, not convinced allowing assets to be used for games, really meant it was a game dev tool, but fair shout out I guess, I had completely forgotten it.

From what I recall it essentially just offered a way to [automatically] reduce the polygon count of Poser models so they were theoretically more game ready. The reality is automated poly reduction tools are almost never going to cut it, especially for models that need to be rigged for animation/deformation, and doubly so in the case of low poly game models where every triangle and edge loop counts. I suspect you'd end up with at least as much work cleaning up, if not just re-meshing the model as if you'd done it manually from the start.

I could probably argue its short shelf life and complete lack of adoption, might be making my point. :p
