Can anyone clarify something for me?

I have dozens of texture sets that do not work with SuperFly due to showing seams, unless Is use the Poser option: Poser Skinning Method : Poser Unimesh

Are we saying that this workaround will go away in Poser 13? If so that will be a big deal for many folks I suspect.

I think the bug has something to do with displacement maps.  A displacement map moves the actual verts.  Superfly already doesn't do micro displacement.  It seems to me that it displaces the verts but does not maintain the weld on a edge.  If so, unimesh (the real thing, not old Daz Millenial figure unimesh) would correct that as there aren't welds.

I'm impressed they could ever make Poser work with welds.  That is way harder to do than unimesh.  But it's probably a million extra lines of code throughout the product, all over the place, to make welds work.  And a million more lines to make everything else work with the weld code.  I'm imagining that it will be easier to just rewrite Poser from scratch.
