Quote - markschum wrote Version 5 figures wont be on my shopping list anyway, I just cant justify the expense. I also cant afford to upgrade from Poser 7 for a hobby.  Daz went away from Poser with its dynamic cloth items , and its subdivision figures. Its been obvious for some time that maintaining compatibility was going to get harder.  V4 was not comparible with Poser 5 , lets see what Daz says about V5.

Weight maps is certainly a way to go, Lightwave uses them as does every other professional modeller application I know of.

Looks like Optitex is now involved in making Poser dynamic items, too...

There's no feud between DAZ and SmithMicro like there was with the previous Poser owners. Maybe things will change. SmithMicro stuff has been in the DAZ marketplace recently.
