I think what Gareee means is the rig that DAZ made the standard in Poser - collars and buttocks. That was a vast improvement on Posette and Dork. Don and Judy have collars and buttocks, too, so J&J are really a step backwards. Now, it may be that they did this because they plan to create a new rigging system in the future that will make buttocks and collars unnecessary. But that doesn't help us now.

Maybe you're right; I don't claim to be able to predict the future. But so far, this is reminding me more and more of what happened to Don and Judy. Releasing flawed figures and hoping the community fixes them isn't a terribly successful tactic.

BTW, I think Gareee also has a good point about the Girl's rig. I don't own her, so I'm no expert. But she does seem to look good, in the images I've seen. And I know her rigging is quite unusual. Her default pose is a weird splayed position, not the standard T. So I think rigging could indeed be improved, without changing Poser's rigging system. You just have to think outside the box, like Kim did with The Girl.
