Quote - The "uh oh" seems given in the absence of having read the several threads going around about weight mapping. Wolf - did you read what has been said elsewhere in the last couple weeks, or no?

If no - here's a quick summary:

Almost every user is very interested in this.

A few fear (mistakenly) that WM-enabled Poser and DS imply that old rigging will stop working. They have been enlightened several times but it keeps coming up.

Dan Farr (am I spelling that right?) has said DAZ is interested in and/or is already working with other vendors to ensure compatibility. Nobody in his right mind thinks he's not talking about SM.

SM has publicly said nothing.

In private, I know something I can't talk about. Infer what you will from that intentionally vague statement.

There ya go.

 

Why I worry...

SM won't say anything... publicly. They almost seem not only content but encouraging of people to form these types of opinions.

As for what's in companies best intersts to cooperate... my local Time Warner cable company is in a dispute with a company of local channels about carrying them on cable. Both companies benefit from the agreement, but on December 31, Time Warner has to pull the plug on the channels as per their carry agreement.

Time Warner has said nothing publicly about the dispute, but the channels, which are free over the air broadcast stations, are trying to paint the picture that TWC is being greedy, and manipulative.
