I have been thinking to do something for sale in the marketplace for a long time, but as I am a perfectionalist I did not get those projects into a state I could be happy with. I dont hate Poser, but I hate to poserize stuff. I am working on a Mac and after Curious Labs left me hanging in the air for almost a year with releasing Poser 5 for OSX, I am still using Poser 4 (which is crappy crap under OSX). Everything that works well and looks great seems to look awefull if I import it into poser. Poser 4 cant cope with different normals, it only knows UV mapped textures and cant to other shaders and its hirarchy system for geometry use still is a mystery to me. I also runs very slow with high poly objects. Since I mostly work extremely high poly, I would not want to frustrate any Poser users with props or cloth items that almost could crash theyr application. I think I will soon make the jump into the cold water, since I finally got something done that looks as good in Poser as it does in my native Cinema 4D and that works fast and smooth. Lets see how it works out. If I do, I will provide it in a Cinema native version as well as in a poser version. How would you think about doing both (.c4d and Poser files) in the same package? Is it a good idea to sell both together for one price, or is it more adviceable not to do so?
