DAZ and Poser have both screwed up.
How many IDL renders do you see in the Poser gallery?
Dynamic cloth renders?
Dynamic hair renders?
Raytraced renders?
How many Poser users ever use the face or setup room?
DAZ and the Poser team have forgotten what got them here... hobbyists.
What hoops will we have to jump through to get a conforming pair of pants to bend the same way as a weight mapped Mike3?
We will not see this in the galleries unless it is all made for ease of use. Most Poser users will not use weight mapping unless it helps their workflow.
I get the feeling the Poser team listens to the brainiacs in this forum more than they actually look at the galleries and see what folks are ACTUALLY using.
DAZ's genesis being able to morph into anything is genius... being limited by weight mapping to DAZ Studio is complete business stupidity.
DAZ and the Poser team are catering to the exact same customer base.
Make products that are actually useful to the target customer.
Poser Pro 2010 works fine... don't need weight mapping... I can postwork knees... so doubt I'll be buying 2012 for at least a year or more
