It doesn't have to be Genesis 8. It has to be a type of object that allows you to do that though. It can be an entirely different system, the end result is all I care about.

Poser can already do that, and has been able to since at least Poser 9/2012. Look at the gorilla for Dusk. Just one example. The reason you don't see more of it is because most won't take the time to learn how to use the tools, so people just assume Poser can't.

That's part of it. But the majority of the Poser user base has been relying on staying with V4, V4.2 was released in Feb 2008, making her 11 years old now.

To put that in perspective in relation to Poser .... Poser 7 was released in Dec 2006 by EFrontier, and Poser Pro in May 2008, the first product released by Smith Micro. Poser 8 was released in Aug 2009. So basically, people that are still using V4 are using a figure that utilizes Poser 7 technology - and which has over ten years of vendor support using Poser 7 features. It's no wonder people don't realize what Poser 11 can do. There have been efforts to weight map V4 (Sasha comes to mind) ... but I'm not exactly sure how many have jumped on board with that.

Meanwhile, an individual here expects a figure that was released a mere 5 months ago (and has a VERY decent start so far) to have the same amount of vendor support as an eleven year old figure. Also not taking into account that Victoria 4 didn't need to support Poser 11 features, and therefore they had no need to learn weight mapping or animated joint centers or any of the newer features used in LaFemme.

SM is a software-driven company. Content was of less importance until Chuck Taylor took over. Now, with Rendo owning it. the tide is shifting. For the better. Give them a chance.
