"welp, you just crapped on your whole argument about how Poser should never have interesting features"

 I think he was talking about easy, which doesn't rule out interesting*.* OTOH, it sounds like weight mapping will be fairly transparent to the 'average user' anyway. Very few people use all of the features of any moderately complex application - Poser is no exception. While I agree that some kind of landscape creation tools would be very nice, I'm not sure that building it into Poser would be worth the cost and addex programming complexity. Cut a deal with e-on and bundle a lite version of Vue with Poser. Both companies could benefit.
