Maybe somebody at Daz should subscribe to National
Geographic for more than the pictures of semi-clad
native women.
:) I'm looking through the "8 morphs" right now. So far, the only one that comes close to actually looking like the target cat is the Jaguar, and it shares with the others a neck so weird that it destroys any chance of using the head anywhere except in "See what I can do!" cartoons for the Gallery. I just flipped to the lion and realized that he looks just like the Nature Conservancy stuffed one I skipped when I bought my toy ferret. Great. Plush animals figures for your rendering needs.
My first reaction to the product was "Not a chance." That was prompted in part by being screwed over with the MilDog bundle, in part by listening to people agonize over the MilHorse (which I was lucky enough to resist), but mainly by the poor quality of the advert render. I know teenage hobbists who can draw better-looking lions freehand than the ones in the main ad. And it is not encouraging to see the folks who bought the mesh crying "Where's the mane?" My guess, it eloped with the dog's bushy tail and they are off to create a new planet.
DAZ has arrived at that point in a company's evolution when they believe that anything with their name on it will sell like hotcakes. And the market keeps reinforcing this arrogant perception by buying what is obviously poor quality and then bitching about it.
People who continue to hand their credit cards over to DAZ every time some new item appears in the newsletter are getting what they deserve. Sorry, but there you are.
