Alot easier. There's the fitting room. Many things you had to hack files for are automated and built in now. There's subdivision morphs and 2 new skinning types. The morph brush has more features. The set up room feels a little more stubborn for laying out bones but I'm rusty. Morphs are a snap to share now, in many different ways. There's animated joint centers and an automation to adjust joint centers to extreme morphs. That last one might have some bugs. I haven't used it in a while and probably won't again for a while. Every injection and test I did with it seemed to work in my scene but apparently there is or was some bug, not sure if they fixed it. And many more things...

I haven't looked but doesn't Antonia have a crossdresser license?
