I admit to some confusion about Poser5's use of the term "bones." In P3 and P4 the metaphor is groups of polys, ball-and-socket jointed to each other in the heirachy, with additional parameteters influencing the deformations of the joint area.. As I understand it, a true "bone" system involves an independent jointed structure with a variety of joint types and limits, to which a mesh is attached in a per-poly weighting scheme. Is it just a metaphor change in the Setup Room, orhad Poser5 actually changed in ways that makes bones a more accurate metaphor?
