If it takes them so long to implement it, one would think it must be more involved?

I also thought this new "unimesh" system is something completely different from the "old" unimesh system?

And as I explained above, the old(?) system combined with JCM's already grants me full control over a mesh' deformation, even with figures like M2 (or Dork, or Posette, or, or...) that were never designed for it.

Weightmapping + reverse defomation JCM's that I can create "on-the-fly" was a big step towards creating better figures.

I'm all for progress if it serves a purpose.

But I don't trust "Automatic rigging conversion" solutions.

V4 was designed for Studio, so to properly work in Poser, DAZ had to stuff dozends of magnets into her cr2, resulting in her being a massive resource drain.

Dawn was rigged in Studio and then just "auto-convert-exported" to work in Poser, resulting in her rigging in Poser to be extremely lackluster.

So I doubt that even with full Unimesh functunality implemented, the rigging of those imported figures will be more than basic.

And escuse me for being snarky for a second, but...

What current native Poser figure would someone want to export from Poser to use in another program, anyway?

They are so full of design flaws, I don't even want to use them in Poser itself. (Sorry, just my opinion)

Implementing a new technology takes time. And time is money.

And you can spend that money only once.

And as soon as a new technology is implemented, somone will raise his/her voice to get "rid of the old"

We lost the old line renderer, we lost Wardrobe Wizzard, Face Room, the simplified material room and 99% of the python scripts.

How soon that someone will claim that "Firefly" and "Sphere rigging" and even "old" weightmapping are just dead weight that weighs Poser down in it's glorious path into the future and need to go?

And of course there will be no money left for new, professionally desgned figures, because, well, we spent it all on implementing "NEW TECH".

I said it before:

Give me a set of well designed and properly edgelooped figures derived from actual human body scans.

Fix some of the more annoying bugs (And drop the spyware, pleeeze?)...

...and I'll happily pay you $500 for Poser 13!

Otherwise, I wish you good luck, but I'm out.

But all good things probably must come to an end.

I hated Capaldi and I think I haven't seen more than one and a half episodes of Whittaker.

I don't think I'll ever rewatch the last three Star Wars movies.

And it takes all my strenght watching "Strange New Worlds", which turnes out to be just as stomach turning as "Discovery" or "Picard" were.

It's sad, but I guess it is what it is.

I still have Eccleston and Tennant and Smith.

And the original triology.

And TOS and TNG and DS9. And even Enterprise and The Animated Series.

And I have PP 2014 and Poser 11.

And my trusty old 3rd Gen DAZ meshes. What else would I ever need?
