I have been away for a day. (Lucky you all :-) ), and doing some reading here.

Some neutral remarks:

1. YES, this is the Poser forum, an app I have been using since Poser 1.

2. YES, the discussion Poser-DAZ is as usefull as the Windows-MAC discussion.

3. NO, the perfect figure does not exist, nor does the perfect OS, nor does the perfect application.

4. YES, I tried all figures, old and new.

5. YES, ALL figures have their strong and less strong points.

6. YES, some figures have "unrepairable" errors and will NEVER get corrected. And these figures come from BOTH main companies.

7. Weightmapping is a tool. As a magnet is a tool, as the cloth room is a tool, as the hair room is a tool. U use it, and like, or dislike it.

As far as the figures go?
To each his/her own preference.
Most figures have been used in renders, so.

Who is the queen?
V4 is.
And she will stay so for a very-very-very long time.
WHY??
Is she the best figure?
NO.
But she has the most support. The most items to use.
And YES the V4WM is an improvement over the origional.

There have been no personal attacks yet. (Let us keep it that way, please)
Exept for one: basicwiz attacking me.

One uses SubD
The second uses Smoothing.
After a very clear description of SubD, I posted the possibilities of Posers Smoothing function.

And got a not so polite answer.
So my last remark goes to basicwiz.

Or? You moderate, or you participate in a discussion.
You can not moderate and participate at the same time.
Once you choose a side,  You are not neutral any more.

When you start to participate in a discussion you loose the right to moderate. Period.
I hope I am pretty-pretty- clear here.

To each his/her own.

Choose your OS.
Choose your 3D app.
Choose your figures.

And post in the right forums.

Thank you all for reading.
