I don't think there's any point in changing V3 at this point. She's got too much stuff made for her already, and re-rigging would make it all useless. If you're going to re-do a figure, it has to be a new one. One that doesn't have a lot of stuff yet.

Besides, DAZ will no doubt address V3's rigging problems with V3 Pro and D|S. I just hope their solution works in Poser as well.

A big advantage DAZ has is that people know the figures will be supported. No one wants to be stuck with a figure they can't dress. Dynamic cloth and skin shaders may eventually change this, but for now, it's a huge consideration in the average buyer's mind. For most of us, money is an issue, and we can't take a chance on a character like Elle until we know it will be embraced by the community. No one wants to find out they're the proud owners of a Betamax in a VHS world. That is why people will shell out $100 for a DAZ figure and morphs, but won't pay $12 for EJ. It's not that they want to spend more money, or that they think money is quality. (If that were the case, we'd all be at Turbosquid.) Rather, it's that when the latest cool fetish gear from Batlab or hair by Koz is posted, they want to be able to use it. IOW...you're asking why people keep buying Windows when Linux is free.

Gareee....couldn't Jessi be redistributed if she were RTEncoded or something? How is Nea being redistributed?
