Patorak is a figure creator Rorr. He knows these things.

I say we all should just make our own figures. Suited to whatever kind of art we wish to make. And who says we need to create just one? This is how the rest of the the 3d art world and artists do things. Can't model or rig? Shrugs... Poser is cursed with the burden of its instant gratification user base, market mentality which rewards the most conformity (see the desire for Genesis, and most of the art being T&A based generic sexdoll crap, the summit of technical achievement usually resulting in a "photograph" of a living room), and the make art button. Harsh words? The truth. Ironic though considering how much I like the freebie community and the artists that contribute to it. Without the demand I suppose there would be no need for the supply. I guess my thinking is kinda schizophrenic on this point. Not sure how I feel about makehuman or other automations, similar to how I'm wary of 3d printing since I come from a traditional sculpture background. Sorry.

Someone needs to write an updated version of 'secrets of figure creation' that includes all of the nice features of Poser's content creation tools that have come along since it was published. Alot of things are woefully hidden or buried in forums in this regard. Fellows like shvrdavid, Netherworks, PhilC, etc. should be involved in a project like that.
