Quote - I think one of the main reasons that the Poser figures that came with the program died is the lack of versatility. So people do want it. If you don't provide it people do complain.

I agree, people have come to expect all those morphs, and various characters from a single mesh. Which is good perhaps for the business that is creating the figures that people want.  But I think its also sad, it makes people lazy, they dont have the need to get their hands dirty and make those morphs themselves. Or to learn much about the apps they use.

Different rigs for different figures Is of course what I would prefer too LOL. But it does create a lot of extra work. But I think that more and more, that is becoming a viable option. You have WW for clothes, and Cage has been writting a PY for doing the same thing with morphs. Plus you have morphing clothes. Once we have enough avenues of transfering between differently rigged figures (which may be now) This option could become popular.

You can honestly only do so much with size and shape befor you really need to move and readjust the joints. I've always thought an obese figure, an average figure and an emaciated figure could cover pretty much the full range of body types. Using morphs etc to get all varients in between. The same for different age groups if you had a few well made well rigged figures at different ages you could cover all in between.  Like stepping instead of going from full sized full grown human to a very young child.
