Every wire frame has potential, just as everyone of them has problem areas as well. Poser and Studio use old rigging technology. (Before someone chimes in on Genesis 3, stop, That was invented in the late 80's/early 90's. It is nothing new, so get over it already....)
Even thou wire frames have issues, that does not mean that they can not be rigged to bend far better than most of them do. Rigging figures to bend just like you and me is possible in Poser. I can rig them so you can tie them in knots, so can many other people..
Rigging is a double edged sword. Simple rigging does not bend so well, complex rigging does but complicates content creation more so than simple rigging. If you want a figure to bend really good, Poser Pro has enough tools to get the job done. Yes it is easier if you use some other tools, but you can do it with just Poser and a text editor if you really wanted too.
Simple examples...
This is V3, with not a single JCM,
This is Roxie.
This is a re rig of Pauline that I am working on, there is not a single joint jcm in it.
Years ago I gave up on the canned rigging that most figures have and sat down and learned how to rig in Poser. I have rigging experience in other software, and that helped.
If your not happy with what is offered, why not just fix it and be done with it? I gave up waiting for decent rigging, and like I said that was years ago. Not much has changed either. Yes there are figures that bend far better than Posette did, but all of them have issues somewhere. Don't think that learning to rig will solve all of the rigging issues thou. Because just the rigging will never solve all the joint issues in Poser or Studio on every wire frame.
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
