"I want the DAZ figures to work fully with it or else the upgrade is no good to me." P6 is exactly as screwed up as Poser 4 and Propack are. No worse, no more no less. There are people who refused to upgrade to Poser 4 from Poser 3 becuase of all the problems with this damned bug it had that messed up confomring clothing. (that bug was crosstalk, btw) ALl of that said, I'd like to mention that Vicki and Mike (and the progeny since them) have Never worked fully with poser -- any version. Ever. "fully" is the potent part of the phrase. Fully would indicate that the people who made the figures created them with theintention from the get go of making them work entirely with the program. Daz never intended the figures to work fully with Poser. This was a conscious decision on their part, as well. Wasn't "wrong", wasn't "bad". They chose to do something different. The figures have never functioned properly with the walk designer (which has led people to label it worthless). They have never functioned properly with the figure options (which has led people to label it worthless). They are, in short, good enough. In some ways, they are better because of that decision, in some ways they are worse. In any case, to base a decision not to upgrade on that facotr alone isn't forward looking and is not progressive. But that happens. It's not "wrong", either. It just is. It is my humble opinion that the statement needs to be thought through a bit more for clarity, is all. :)
