Oh, I'm not blaming Poser; it's these unimesh figures--The original Freak's clothes were not problem to apply. Now the Freak is just a morphed M4 and the Freak clothes are coming in at normal M4 scale. Although it's not a bug, I'd like to see Poser incorporate the same type of cross talk in their figures as Daz Studio does (although Daz Studio used to work better with cross talk early on they changed it because of problems with conforming skirts), it is still less of a pain to clothe figures with Studio than with Poser. I used to love using the Mil. Beard because no matter how I morphed my character's face the beard used to follow it--but that has changed--but this morphy follower looks promising to restore that type of functionaity.
The way I look at it is that Poser works fine with earlier generation figures, conforming clothes are less of a problem, but Daz Studio has these new tools, like the morph follower, that will be a big boon to me when it comes to certain things. I'd rather spend less time adjusting morphs and scale dials and more time concentration on composing my scene and lighting.
I really think SM needs to pay attention to what Daz is doing so that the program can support Daz Figures more easily. If there were a selection of excellent human figures that weren't made by Daz I wouldn't care; but the Poser native people after Poser 5 have been absolutely hideous. The new Apollo Maximus was never released either. If Poser and Daz Studio take separate evolutionary paths I wish that SM would hire artists to create beautifully crafted and useable humans. Miki, I think, was the closest thing any poser company had ever created that ever came close to Victoria's popularity.
