" Poser is the superior application. Flawed features and all."

Taking the figure quality completely out of the equation, in what objective ways is poser superior?

Rigging new content for the figures?

I have used the "Fitting Room" and I have used the Daz transfer utility to make many outfits including the one I posted earlier in the thread.

The transfer utility is literally 2 clicks and you have a conformer with ALL morphs working

immediately no need to add them later.

I have clothing for M4 that won't work on G2M or G3M without manually fitting it in zbrush and porting it back in. And the transfer utility is nice but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you're making skin-tight clothing then its usually fine, but most times you're still going to have to repaint weightmaps and create your own movement morphs, unless you like the 2005 pool-noodle, or stay-puff marshmallow man look in your clothes. Especially around shoulders elbows and knees. And all character morphs do not transfer equally as well depending on the body shape and how the clothing geometry is laid out. Of course if your t-shirt has 50K polys to start with then you probably won't have too much problem, but if your geometry is actually designed correctly with optimization in mind, then you're most likely going to have areas that need fine-tuning. And don't even get me started on trying to rig skirts, dresses, robes, etc. DS and Poser both fail pretty badly at that no matter how good their respective auto fit tools are. I've been rigging clothing in DS for over a year now, so I'm pretty familiar with its rigging tools. I still prefer Poser's rigging and weight painting tools. They may not be as flashy or as advanced but you still have more control if you know what you're doing. I also prefer having access to all the tools available in the software without caveats.
