I'm talking about something else, I know uvmapping and weight mapping are different animals. I'm saying that UVMapper Pro is breaking the model skins, which is a major inconvenience when reuvmapping a Daz model and then wanting to use it in Studio. I'm not sure if I will even be able to reuvmap a Daz model native to Studio, and still have it work in Studio with its associated morphs like I can do with Poser. I'm pretty sure that I will have to rebone the figure from scratch and make all new morphs. (and I got good sources for that information) Daz hasn't exactly been nodding very much towards us *erotica folks. We usually have to do a lot of mods to a figure to get it usable for our stuff. If its made too difficult for us to mod a figure, you'll probably see most of us sticking to Poser. And that's a shame... but I liken it a bit to the VHS/Beta debacle... Beta was technically better, but people liked longer length tapes. g Its a great little program (though it won't work on my computer), but I'm not sure if its going to be full featured enough for me to get a lot of use out of it, unless I sit down and make my own figures to use for it, or hope someone else does. Which makes me have to evaluate my direction... that's correct. But I do wish it well, because by now I believe only by it doing well, will we see more innovations on the Poser side of things.
