Previously in the Antonia thread... :laugh:
Just for people who may know about Walk Designer, but not Antonia: the issue is that Antonia has a non-standard rig in the abdomen-hip region. In the current version, we have a hip actor which is at the root of the actor hierarchy and thus works pretty much like the hip in traditional Poser figures. We also have an actor hip2, which is a child of hip and the parent of the thigh actors. That hip2 actor takes up most of the figure's actual hip region.
Now in order to make Wardrobe Wizard support possible, we are planning to rename the current hip actor to waist and the current hip2 actor to hip. The hierarchy, however, will not be changed, because having a hip that can be posed independently of the rest of the body is immensely useful. So in summary, we'll end up with a figure that's rooted at the waist actor instead of the hip, which obviously causes a number of problems with software that assumes figures can be picked up and shoved around at the hip.
... and now the conclusion:
(well, hopefully!)
