Huh ?
Ever heard of spherical falloff zones ?

'course I have. I just don't like the way they work. PITA, far as I'm concerned. I've said everything in this thread in the context of how I see it. It's all been hypothetical. I don't expect any of this to happen.
Nevertheless it has been an interesting thread.

Do you really think that a professional modeller who spent years to hone his skills all of a sudden says:
"Oh man, that Vicky 4 Girl sure is hawt and now she comes even pre-rigged for Max.

Nope. I also never said anything about it being prefab content dependent, but with the ability and the option to be able to have that if one wants.

If it's so easy, why has none of the DAZ or Poser meshes been professionally weightmapped yet ?

Couldn't tell you why, but I suspect it's due to a lack of demand, not feasibility. It actually is quite easy to rig up a DAZ figure in LW, for example, and I'm sure in any other program. It's just a mesh, after all.

And yes, even devoloping a completely separate "über-Poser" will harm the "actual" Poser, because I somehow doubt Smith-Micro will pay two separate development teams.

I actually said that already, a few pages back.
