Quote - I've been wondering, though, whether some kind of mesh-grouping will be retained, in order to define morph targets somehow. 

Would that not make it easier to morph? True single mesh. No groups to cross over.

 Clothing modeling should be easier too. Yes we will need to learn some new stuff but if it makes it easier to follow morphs or create morphs. That means less work in the long run. This is part of the reason that DAZ showed thier hand. In the first few pages of the V5 thread itwas meantioned how the new system would help with clothing. DAZ jumped in and said that IS how it was going to work and started to show what they have and has the public betas to see for yourself how it works.

So I wonder if Poser is going to have the figure mixer too.
