It's actually not all that strange if you think about it. The boys are more concerned with the shape of things, and tactile (in a sense) stuff than the girls are. Modelling isn't easy (for me at least) and my brain just doesn't want to deal with all the wires. But the guys don't seem to have that problem. Or maybe they just have a lot more patience with it. The girls usually have a better sense of color and shading, or maybe they are just more inclined to apply that, so I'm really not surprised about the texture creation side being female dominated. I'm still not sure about the user base, but something tells me that there is more female than male in Poser, but more male than female in - for example - Vue. (I'm tellin ya, it's the wires! :P) Anyway, that's my take on it :) And FWIW - both the modellers and the texture / pose creators are doing a damn fine job no matter which gender they are :) Silke
