It does amaze me that certain people claim to know about rigging and have not released a single base figure.

People have said the same about me and I have been involved with a lot of them.

When a figure gets released and gets nothing but bashed because whoever rigged it decided to do it one way or the other, it doesn't really matter how they did it in the end. Some people will just complain LOUDLY that it should have been done another way.

There are so many different approaches you can take. Oddly, no matter what way you approach it, you wil run into something that you didn't for see in the beginning. Poser figures (and the Daz ones) are some of the more complex figures out there simply because they are not one off figures. In production, you may have 6 or 7 figures that look the same, but the internals are very different for scene dependent things.

Making a figure that can transform into a bazillion others is sort of unique in this area a 3D. Making one that everyone like, well that just isn't possible.

What makes a good figure? Well in the end that depends on who is using it, for what. And nothing more. It doesn't matter how it is rigged, who rigged it, how many jcm's, etc.

What matters in the end, is that the person using it can do what they want with it....

I can see this forum going the same route that RuntimeDNA did, and it has not been a month since Poser came to Bondware/Rendo.

But what do I know about any of that? lol.

Gee. Ya gotta stop talking sense there, Scott. It might actually catch on. LMAO

And I would remind myself that the original forums at Content Paradise got shut down as well. Remember there used to be forums at CP? They went away when SM took over.
