I have my self been very critical of these cats, however, I did buy them and played with them for a while and with some tweeking (playing w/dials), Daz`s fixes and when someone makes a real good "real photo texture" I think it`s worth the price. one thing that convinced me was the pose set that just came out the other day they looked pretty good. I did some close up renders with my tweeks at the dials and I did my own eye textures : ) I have not played with the others yet, some of them seam to look like stuffed toys. hope this helps, Kim
