First off I am just a Beta tester and not part of the Dev team so what insight I have to the program is limited in that respect.  But I have been playing with Poser for a long time, since Poser 5 came out.  Currently I have finished the pictures for a tutorial on how to map the weights, at least the ones not close to the body.  Now I have to write the text to explain the pictures.  And no I am not going to make a video, even though a lot of this looks neat while moving.

The one advantage I find in this version is the fact that I can turn on Live Simulation and adjust the dials and see the results in almost real time.  Another is that the simulation time is vastly faster.  Not to pick on anyone but the Valentine Day dress is modeled way different then the final desired result.  A lot of the sharp folds that it starts with blend out in the old cloth room.  And that is something that is not easy to try to map to get the same results.  I can come up with several dozen different effects that sort of look like the Poser 13 version but not that exact look.  That with the fact that what took Tipol 7 minutes to get the simulation done takes about 20 seconds in Poser 14 so gives a lot of time to tweak to tune it right.  And by right that is in my opinion and does not detract from the creators vision.  And who knows maybe once they get a beter understanding they may make something that while not the exact same as the original might be good enough to make an update for. 

The auto gen parts are not a bad starting place and they will probably get better as the new system is better understood.  There are still a couple of improvements they need to make in that area.  And they may add more to the auto constraints to include those parts that are not close to the body.  However, that is much harder since a lot of the skirts were made to be high up at the start and fall down to hang well below where they started.

Adn as the tutorial will explain you don't really need to DRAW weights, just apply a set value to an area to give it a map.  Blanket fill is fast.  Drawing is meant for the fine tuning.
