I think we should definitely listen to TOP VENDORS like Rhiannon. They know where the shoe don't quite fit.

The vendors are the last group to support any features added to Poser 8,9,10 or 11.

I'd remind you that those TOP VENDORS refused to make any content for any post-V4 figure.

There are a number of factors involved as to why this happened. Most notable is that aside from the Millenium 4 figures and the Hivewire figures, there weren't a lot of other available options to inspire content creation for Poser. SM missed the boat in that regard. Over and over again.

Another factor is as Satira explained above. Weight mapping was introduced in Poser 9, and has matured a LOT since then. There are very few that know how to do weight mapping in both programs, so it is only natural to support figures that are more appealing. If the figures aren't appealing to users, there isn't a lot of incentive to develop content for them.

There is no point looking back and beating ourselves over for why and how things ended up the way they are now. The point of this thread is to look forward, not back.
