Quote - It's our understanding from beta reports that the scaling issue has been resolved with the latest Service Releases applied to both Poser 8 and Pro 2010. If there are still isues, after those SR's have been applied, please let our tech support team know.
The only "scaling issue" that was solved was the fact that conforming clothing can now also be conformed to scaled figures without defaulting to 100% of it's size everytime.(As long as it is first resaved to the Poser library with the appropriate settings)
The different handling in single-axis scaling between Poser and Studio (And so, among others, Kids-4 greatly reduced usefullness in Poser) were, AFAIK, never seen as something possible to fix without completely changing Poser's rigging system.
And therefore there was never any attempt to fix it.
People in the fora regularly confused both problems though and started to argue even though I posted detailed screenshots, and after a while I simply got tired trying to explain the differences.
And just for the record, Kids-4's scaling problems are entirely DAZ' fault.
Single axis scaling works without problen in Poser as long as the figure is properly rigged.
Unfortunately the (pre-Genesis) DAZ style rigging is more "forgiving" than the Poser rigging, so you can get by cutting quite a few corners and DAZ seemed to think the necessary extra work to achieve full Poser functionality to be not worth the effort.
Well, all this is moot anyway, now.
