Weight Maps been around a long long time.
I haven't been keeping up with the latest versions.
All the High Ends App's have Weight Maps and I would think tweaking rigging tools.
Diffrent HighEnd App's are just like any other Apps some are better at certain things.
but A lot of the studio's use MoCap.
So I don't know how much effort is towards advancing rigs these days.

oh the point of highend app's to Poser is Poser gets highend tools after there been around for a while and become affordable.

And I can't wait for Vector Maps :)
