Quote - > Quote - Question for the OP: how much extra are you willing to pay for another rigging system and rigging tools?  IIRC the ProPack add on for Poser 4 was somewhere in the $299 to $350 range back in 2001. 

DAZ hasn't gotten around to telling potential buyers just how much their Content Creation Tools are going to cost.  Or the final cost of their Pro version of DS. 

Right now DS4 and Genesis is limited.  You can pose but you can't rig or do anything else.  If that's all you want for Poser then it probably wouldn't add much to cost.  If you want the functionality you are used to in Poser (especially rigging and creating your own custom cr2's) be prepared for a much higher cost. 

The problem with your question is that it really has nothing to do with the original post I made. Whether or not I'm willing to pay more for Poser is irrelevant. What I want to know are the things that by their NDA, they can't seem to tell me now.

BTW, I got a response from a tech at SM who said that they were unfamiliar with DAZ's weightmapping technology and that I should ask you guys and gals how to simulate it in Poser.

Frankly, thinkcooper's response was fine for me. It's just... reassuring to know that somebody's there and they care.

Sorry about the misinterpretation. 

So, it seems that while at some point DAZ and SMS had a talk about wieight mapping and such, it may not have gone any further than that.

If SMS were to offer an add on the same as the did the old ProPack, how much would you pay for it?

This is just a friendly question, no attack.  You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
