Attached Link: Xanna for V4.2

I would love a replacement of the whole magnet 'paradigm'... the GUI and three part structure is nothing but a pain... what I would want is a "zone of influence" tool... props such as a box, ball, and/or cone that had parameter dials effecting the deformation of mesh falling within its volume with a dial for falloff. Then maybe a separate set with a control element and two mirroring "zones". No more mess of magnet parts, the possibility of saving a magnets complete set-up in a cut-and-paste of the parameters etc. William_the_Bloody's UMM is very close to ideal aside from the need for poses to establish which elements are deformed. UMM is very nice for adding subtle asymetries to a figure I find. The V4 Xana tool is a magnet rig that is quite powerful and very easy to use... I even wonder what it would be like if figures came with Xanna type rigs embeded in them in place of FBM's... I don't actually know which is more 'econmical" for Poser, FBMs or Xanna.
