Just don't assume the referenced geometry of newer figures will be in OBJ format... they may not be. I'm actually adding geometry to figures, so its going a lot beyond uvmapping. I'm familiar with the uses of weight mapping. But I'll wait and see if Studio is going to be right for me... at this point I do not have enough information to be sure that its going to be useful or not. It may end up being that its not, it may end up being that it is... we'll see. What I require out of my figures and programs is that things are heavily customizable by me. Poser is that. Carrara is that. I'm not sure yet if Studio will be. the way Carrara bones work and the way Daz bones work are similar... just C doesn't have weight mapping yet. Here's hoping that gets put into the next version...
