Now, Maya is industry standard used by just about everyone in every industry related to animation, from videogames to movies. Poser, while not baaad, it's literally not as good as Maya for animation. The only advantage it has is that it's comparatively easier to use, and much cheaper.

Just about every animator in this world that is taught formally about animation in a general sense, is taught how to animate with Maya more than any other programs. But Monty used Poser, knew a trick to it or something, and insisted that they used Poser instead of Maya, because he didn't want to unlearn-to-learn.

Now that he's gone, even if his passing was a Tearjerker for just about everyone who knew him, RT can use Maya for animation, and that's what they're doing.
