Version 5 figures wont be on my shopping list anyway, I just cant justify the expense. I also cant afford to upgrade from Poser 7 for a hobby.  Daz went away from Poser with its dynamic cloth items , and its subdivision figures. Its been obvious for some time that maintaining compatibility was going to get harder.  V4 was not comparible with Poser 5 , lets see what Daz says about V5.

 

Weight maps is certainly a way to go, Lightwave uses them as does every other professional modeller application I know of.
