...do you feel there's a good market for regular, ordinary, street-type clothes... Under the influence of absolutely no great authority at all I'd have to guess... no. I'm sure there is a market but it would probably consist mostly of those who use Poser in some sort of professional capacity requiring "every day" scenes or figures. Your biggest hurdle may be finding these users. By far the larger market is comprised of those who do the type of work you have already noticed in the on-line galleries. I would hazard that the majority of these people do this type of thing as a hobby- for fun. Now when people want to play they don't want to be reminded of the office or the next door neighbour who is perceived to be dull. They want excitement, adventure, a change of pace- boredom they can get at home and for free. Hence the considerable preference for fantasy and science fiction imagery endemic on-line. This style is not my preference but I escape into surrealistic fantasies- not a good clothing market either. I suppose this is a long way of saying the same thing as your broker. Fantasy rules- realism sucks. (at least when it comes to the Poser modeling business) Sorry I couldn't give you the answer I suspect you wanted. - Jack ps The Sims computer games seem to be a complete contradiction to the above. I confess I have no idea why it is so apparently popular. Maybe it's because people can take virtual revenge upon humdrum normality?
