But remember that plenty of people at DAZ (like me, for example), make content for both Poser and DS, and none of us want to see Poser go under. I happen to use DS mostly, but I still want poser to move forward. Making sweeping generalisations about 'Them vs Us' doesn't help anybody.

*I'd imagine DAZ have been thinking about rigging for a lot longer than a day or two. Dan Farr, President, told us 9 months ago they were working on it. If it suddenly appears tomorrow, I doubt it would be because Poser has changed owners, but more likely because it's finally ready and working.

Rigging isn't something you just shove in, at least, not if you want it to be any good, so whatever DAZ is thinking today probably isn't any different to what they were thinking last week.

*1. They started it.

  1. Don't know why you would assume I thought that something could be coded in a couple of day.  I was generalizing on what Daz was thinking. Hell, we all know that a couple of Daz Days/ Soons means a year or two. Same to Peng code comment. to this.

Granted I never knew Daz was already thinking or working on it, but I'm sure thier thinking it was a good idea to go with it after this poser sale. Hmmmm?

I agree that even if poser is tits up, sorry for the pun, it would most likely take a couple of years. I can live with a fixed P7 64 bit for a few years.
