This isn't a flame, but I have no idea what you're talking about. What products? I have seen a minority of texture add-ons that looked too simple to be worth purchasing, but in general, most of DAZ' "Published Artists" do detailed, non-flood fill / non-hue shift textural work. The Platinum Club texture artists like Moyra and LisaB put great effort into the sorts of details that can't be achieved through E-Z flood filling or hue shifting. I'm sorry if you consider this a flame, which you evidently expect and invite, but without knowing exactly what products you're talking about, I've gotta say ... your assertion is just plain false. If you can indicate what textures you're referring to, perhaps a reasonable conversation about this could get going.
