What can be done for V4~WM by rigging, bulge-maps, and weight-maps has been done. The CR2 is much cleaner and leaner without all the magnets of V4.2. The bending is much improved, and the morphs and characters still work as well as ever. One can convert V4.2's clothing to V4~WM, so the large investment that many people have in Generation 4 figures can be leveraged in the new versions of Poser.

A number of things could add to the utility of V4~WM. A good set of bump/displacement maps, and even some normal maps (to take advantage of the channel) could add interesting details and variety. Morphs could add the finishing touches to some areas (elbows, knees, etc.) Poses that take the new more realistic bending of the figure into account would be helpful.

There are still people using Poser 4, so the Perfect line has a secure future, and many can attest to the usefulness of the product. This is also an effort to extend the utility of the Generation 4 DAZ figures , and benefits those who have a large investment in those figures, and who use Poser versions prior to P9/PP2012. As such the Perfect line deserves recognition and appreciation.

PoserPlace is intent upon stimulating the Poser economy, and offering opportunities to vendors. But, the Poser community does not have to wait. There are many people with skills who can contribute to the effort, and we would all benefit. So, how about some renders in the galleries of the Poserverse?
