Wim, I agree.

I am probably the only one left never using a "V" or a "M", having zero point zero content for them as well.

But most end users have tons and tons of content for ***** dollars for V4/M4, it would backfire if this could not be used any more.

For new figures and or rigging or clothing system, that is something else.
I agree on fully welded objects, WM figures and WM clothing.

An automatic autofit system, that continually follows the figure withut having to run a cloth sim all the time.

And yes, an updated animation system with text to speach for the figures.
See virtual assistent Denise on tube you. :-)
By PP10 ? Quality of digital speach will have improved also.

Certainly after the Poser heaven/disaster, the future of V4 is looking better and better and better.

Or???
SM has to come with a lightning strike figure in Poser 10 to push V4 off her throne.

But where can SM get 4.000 support items to launch the new figure with????

Not a huge bundle of support items at launch? => Figure dead at birthday.
