"one other thing that sort of irritates me, there are so many posts related to GOZ and zbrush being able to solve the posing, mesh etc errors in figures, but as a poser user who doesnt have zbrush I find it almost frustrating that obvious lets say bending errors etc are repaired or fixed in zbrush, but I bought Poser, the one tool to rule them all."

 

The problem is of course that figure creators never admit "I couldn't be bothered to spend another couple of hours to get the bend to look right", but rather blame Poser for it.

Well, Poser rigging indeed used to be rather crappy, but not anymore.

JCMs are still needed and ZBrush is a great tool to create them, but the rigging should be done right the first time.

The only excuse are old figures that couldn't be rigged better with the tools available at the time they were created.

For example it took me a whopping 10 minutes to pretty much eliminate Genesis "exploding butt" just by editing the bulge map for the thigh bones.

Of course it's too late now as vendors would scream bloody murder if DAZ decides to change Genesis rigging after almost a year.
