"It's not really pointless though. I'm simply relating to you my direct experience in rigging in both programs, with the end result being a rigged figure and whether or not it can produce credible results. It most certainly can."

Well without a proper Ik solver or modern animation tools in general the most well produced rig wont produce "credible results" in an animation. I'm simply relating to you my direct experience in animating rigs in multiple programs.

Never said maya wasn't capable, it's highly capable. You're just going to have to build much a much more involved figure rig to match a Poser rig.

Indeed but for the average poser user in this community being presented with Sydney,Alison ,Roxie,Pauline as the default poser females , these MAYA comparisons regarding rigging technology offer ZERO consolation.

Look at the Figure By Erogenesis probably the most advanced poser native Rig in the history of the program and bends better than any Poser or DAZ figure ever built.

But if she looked like Roxie Antonia or Pauline instead of the Cute youthful cheerful early 20's white girl that she is, I doubt few people outside of the small demographic of focus biased technicrats would care about projects Es' incredible rigging compared to a Maya rig.
