Ah well, I had a huge response all typed, but I'm usually too wordy so I'll skip it, and post this instead. Being 3D-techy geeks, we look around at other programs all the time; i.e messiah, motionbuilder, etc. Sitting around thinking "It sure would be nice if we could rig our models using (insert program feature X here)" or " Wouldn't it be cool if it was this way instead" isn't as productive as trying to do something to make it happen.
