Anyone who thinks rigging can replace JCMs doesn't know about rigging. Anyone who doesn't know why a Thigh JCM appears on more than the thigh doesn't understand JCMs.
I agree poser needs some work. Could they have tested their figures out more? Of course. Honestly I do not think SM EVER used Poser to make a figure themselves from start to finish because of all the bugs that could be found in the versions and updates released... But I also think that the reason, the main reason, poser users go to daz is Poser fails to make a "flagship figure". Make 1 male, 1 female, and update that one figure so all items/clothing/skin can be used in the future. Having a new set of figures every release, never updating them, never fixing them, never supporting them themselves, has led down a dark path of "no good figures". There really is nothing wrong with the existing poser figures as a "1.0" release version. They almost never take it to a 2.0, and 99% of the time never to a 3.0. Miki is the only thing I can think of that went that far and I don't see massive improvements. What's worse is they relied 100% on end consumers to generate content. I don't mind this, being a content developer myself, but spending an extra $1000 on a professionally made HD skin for one of their figures could have gone a Long LONG way to show what those figures could really be.
On a side note I hate that there is not superfly update to work with my new RTX card... but I use Octane plugin anyway.
