"Sorry, Joe, that's just not true. It's never been true, and I don't believe I've ever seen anyone claim it is."
Dawn was rigged in Studio.
Then the rig was exported to Poser via Studio's built in "cr2-exporter". (Which can only export a pretty basic rig last time I checked)
That's why the rig has to be so simplified and that's why she needs all those extra body-groups to somewhat compensate. (Two necks like Vicky-2 and multiple abdomen like Apollo)
That's the whole "secret" of Dawn's "Bridging the Poser/Studio rift".
Not some clever "advanced" rigging, but quite the contrary.
That's at least what I read over at the Hivewire forums following merchants' conversations and reading the Hivewire development thread here. And it matches with the type of rigging I encountered when trying to improve her for Poser.
Sorry, I won't hunt for the exact locations to "proof" my statement. It's not that important to me.
But if you can give me technical details that refute my statement, I'm all ears.
