Interesting topic. I've spent the last year making 'real' environments, ie. rooms with doors and windows. Nothing gothic or antique. Just normal rooms. In fact, I'm about to release the first 2 parts of a 5-room apartment with real-world furnishings. Now, I can't complain about sales at all. In fact, I'm doing very well. But I sometimes wonder what people do with my stuff. If you look through the galleries, there aren't that many everyday scenes, at least, not compared with the huge amount of fantasy stuff. You see, everyday things aren't 'trendy' (for lack of a better word). It's not considered hip to make ordinary stuff, in fact it's looked on as being 'too easy', and it's not easy at all. I've just finished building a fitted kitchen unit which took a month - just to model and uv map. I haven't even started on the texs yet. And that's only one wall of the kitchen. I need to fill the other 3 walls before I have a full pack to release. Anyway, in a previous life I was a fashion photographer, so I know a lot about high-fashion garments. I keep promising myself that if I ever get the time, I'll start a range of haute-couture clothing. I've noticed the startling lack of clothes too. Not so much in the t-shirt and jeans department, but good fashion wear. In the end though, creators have to do things they're interested in, unless they're in it purely on a mercenary basis. I guess a lot of people are into fantasy. Now that says a lot about our normal humdrum lives, doesn't it? mac
