I realize that this thread may have gotten off of the original topic, but I'd like to counter something to an earlier post here by Movida...

About 3 years ago, I discovered Morph Injection technology and shared my discovery on this very forum, intending it first as a way to easily expand on the Michael 1 figure, and make it easier to distribute morphs between different characters. It is my understanding that at the time, there were discussions here and there as to whether or not such a thing could be done, but no one had actually tried it. Having not read any of these previous attempts, I painstakingly hacked my way through the CR2 files and developed what later became the Musclebound Michael Figure, the first poser item, for free or sale, that featured Delta Injection Technology.

The following two links shed some light on the original discovery and my sharing of the procedure on these very forums:
CR2 Editing Tip: Embedding New Morphs inside Pose Files (Posted Sept 3rd, 2001)
New Poser Technical Tip: Morphs embedded inside Pose Files (Posted Sept 3rd, 2001)

Along with the release of Musclebound Michael, I made freely available from the DAZ website a PDF user's guide instructing people on how to implement Delta Injection into their own figures. Rob Whisenent, who had developed ERC alongside Nerd, was one of the beta testers for Musclebound Michael and the two of us had a few discussions as to how to better develop the technology and how it could later be implemented into DAZ figures. I had even approached DAZ with the idea of adding Injection channels into Michael 2.0, but the decision at the time was to feature the same technology as had been in Victoria 2, and to hold off until the 3rd generation Millennium family.

I cannot recall ever making a complaint about not getting a thank you and I have maintained a very positive relationship with DAZ over the years, beta testing products, moderating the DAZ forums for a stint, and assisting in the development of various products that have appeared in the DAZ Store, and have been working on a few products still yet to appear.

In regards to the Centaur, your input has been very helpful, although what Bryan posted was a very early WIP and has no bearing on the state of the current or intended final builds of the product. More images will be posted after the mesh has been finalized and the joints completed. Ron DeFreitas DraX Multimedia Designs

Before anyone jumps to any conclusions here, though it's quite obvious what the general opinion here is, please bear in mind that without having agreed to a brokering contract, DAZ will not host your products. I've signed that contract a few times now, as well as NDAs and other legal documents with DAZ... and never once have I had Sarge's problem of the amazing dissapearing non-existant contract. No, in fact I do not believe that Sarge's gripes have anything whatsoever to do with the CC Chargebacks, anymore than I think any of you do.

Thanks, neftis, can't wait to finally see it :)

Issue with the morphs on the M3 mesh, cherokke, I hope to isolate that problem before release but it can be fixed with about 2 seconds of postwork.

No, at a new portion of the DAZ site
