No worries, I figured I would give my input from a content creator's point of view, not knowing if anyone has actually assessed the figure based on how easily it could be supported yet.
as far as any rigging suggestions I will take a look as time permits and see if there is anything that catches my eye.

It did occur to me that the extensive JCMs might pose a problem when making conforming clothes. I don't see any way to achieve realistic bends without JCMs, no matter how good the rigging. Since my main interest is in realistic nude figures, that's what I'm pursuing. But as I said earlier, if I can make things easier for clothes creators without compromising that goal too much, I'm happy to do it.

Ultimately, I hope that we'd find ways to get a greater variability into our Poser figures. If the JCMs don't work for you, throw them out or replace them with another set. If you don't like the UV mapping, use a different one. And so on. As it is, these things are tedious. You need to create a new cr2 and possibly hand-edit it. Pose files can only do certain things, and Poser only saves certain things into them, so more hand-editing is required. Then of course, the greater the variablities, the harder it will become to keep track of dependencies between different packages. There are methods to overcome most of these problems, but they are somewhat scattered and there does not seem to be a useable, unified system anywhere on the horizon.

I think the big piece of progress we're making here is that now we have a figure which does not have to hide behind the ones made by DAZ, Smith Micro and others, but which is completely free of copyright restriction, so anyone can bake their own version and we can potentially have a lot of experimentation and innovation.
