I think Max, Maya etc. are used to make many a castle and dragon, just as some people use Poser to do accident reconstruction, crime scenes ads or other "professional" things so I don't think the program used is important. They're all just tools to do whatever the user wants. I agree that there's not a lot of everyday clothing, compared to the fantasy/fetish genre. You're certainly not the first person to lament the situation. I'm not sure why the content creators haven't responded more. Part of it is probably a circular kind of thing. The see that type of clothing everywhere so that's what they create so that's what's more available. Maybe they've tried creating everyday apparel and it hasn't sold as well, I don't know. As to the demand side, I think the fact that more people aren't clamoring for jeans and tank tops is perhaps an indication that a lot of folks are happy with what's available style wise and it fits in with the type of images they want to create. Of course again, it may be circular. Perhaps if more real world styles were available, more people would do real world images I don't know that one either. I think you're right that some more variety might help to expand horizons and possibly even change Poser's image a little. Seeing nothing but skimpy armor and underwear does perhaps contribute somewhat to Poser's reputation among some as a cheesecake application. You might try writing some people whose quality (if not style) you admire and asking them if they would consider doing some more Sears catalog type items. If you take what is out there and start doing some nice images, maybe you inspire other people. Post a challenge to others to do real life images. Maybe business suited Vicky in a temple with an Ipod will be come a new trend :-)
