Quote - I guess I was just thinking about the future because in a way the Poser architecture seems not as advanced as Genesis. Maybe I'm wrong and just seeing 'bright shiny objects'. :)

Quote - Poser 8 is definitly not as advanced as Genesis.

 

You are not really comparing the same things here. Poser 8 is a program and Genesis is a character.

If you wish to use weightmapping you may wish to consider updating to the newest version of Poser i.e. Poser 9/Pro 2012. It has full weight mapping capabilities and you will still have your familiar interface. The other option of changing applications and content is even more expensive and then you will also have to re-learn how to do things which is not advisable if you are mid-project.
