Thalek, thank you for helping.

I think I better make it clear about my objective.  My objective is plain simple, one Antonia that works in both Poser and DAZ Studio.  Yes, there is one already, it is Antonia Standard.  Why I need to make another one?

Odf did a great job on JCM's within Antonia that make Antonia so unique.  Antonia is the most wonderful free character I ever encountered.  The major problem for me is Antonia's JCM.  It can take month for me to make a very simple panties for Antonia.  But removing all JCM's within Antonia just like destroying Antonia.  Then, I came across the Antonia WM.  That's great!  Without JCM, Antonia WM bends as natural as Antonia Standard.  Unfortunately, Antonia WM cannot "wear" clothing made for Antonia Standard without conversion.  In additional, it doesn't work in DAZ Studio 4 and I cannot figure out how to convert the Poser's WM to DAZ Studio's WM after I spent hours on that topic.  Then, I started to make Antonia for DAZ Studio 4 based on Antonia WM.  It was a failure.  I did not give up, I made Antonia for DAZ Studio 4 based on Antonia Standard without the major JCM's.  It seems to work well in DAZ Studio 4.  I think if I can convert it back to Poser format, the Antonia community will have one Weight Mapped Antonia that works in Poser 9, Poser Pro 2012, and DAZ Studio 4.  Maybe, my thinking is too naive.

For someone like the technical details.  The weight maps within Antonia DS4 are linear.  I think these maps can be converted into JCM's.  If it works, I may be able to make clothing for Antonia Standard by using Antonia DS4 as a template.
