learned that aspect.

Yeah, just wait until modo gets some CA tools into its workflow - bones, rigging, and so on. They've got an excellent team at Lux and know full well  that rigging is going to be a big thing for them. I'm guessing they'll create a system which rivals even XSI. Rigging a mesh for posing and/or animating is not difficult, with good tools, and I believe that in a few years Lux will be at or near the top of the heap in that respect.
Assuming they can do it without it being too buggy. ;)

I don't and won't condemn DAZ for marketing strategy. If I dislike the
practice, I won't deal with them. I have no agendas to persue. I am a hobbyist and will
use whichever tool does the job best. I have both Vickys also, and prefer V4, though 
Aiko is still the figure I use the most.

Yeah, there you go now, ruining this whole thing. Nothing like a little reality to screw up a perfectly good going-nowhere debate, huh? ;)

I find this whole thread fascinating. If I didn't know any better and were it not for all the technical mumbo-jumbo, I'd swear I was listening to a friend rant about how he hates the chick who just broke up with him. ;)
