Ok, I better clear things up...as some have mentioned, Dawn is a stand alone figure. It is made to use the new tools and technology available in DAZ Studio 4.5 and later. Dawn has also been converted and manually massaged to work in Poser 9 or later.
What that means: For DAZ Studio users Dawn uses the auto loading of morphs and the .duf file format. She is rigged with the Tri-ax weight system in Studio. ( FYI, general weight mapping is the industry standard used in programs like maya and 3dsMax. One weight map for all three axis of rotation. Tri-ax uses one weight map per axis of rotation.)
For Poser users, Dawn uses the weight mapping available in Poser9. Poser has always had separate weights per axis even with legacy sphere zone. They just added the ability to paint the weights.
