Thanks for the heads-up on JCM.

I still prefer it as I hardly ever bother loading a clothing item into the viewport, nevermind use them, but I can see why JCM would be a problem for clothes.  Sounds like that's the only figure-tech SM need to develop then, something that transfers the shaping into whatever clothing the figure is wearing.  There's nothing 'figure-form' that cannot be done using JCM's, so there would be no excuse for badly deforming figures if they added a technology to transfer the form to the clothes, on-the-fly.

The work done by the members here on the figures using just weight mapping, is clearly top-notch, but the point is, it shouldn't need to be like that, you shouldn't be needing to use WM when technologies like JCM exist, and not just JCM, it's curve-controlled keyable JCM!
