"..and is a little expensive for being just a morph." if you factor in the $75 beforehand, sure. but $15.99 for a complete custom morph that took me over a week (and im not new to morphing)? if you think so, then dont buy it - but i think its fair considering the work i did on her and in relation to other products in the marketplace. i make just over $9 on each sale. while i was morphing her i also remorphed countless polys of the mesh to 'flow' better with the lines of the body, as well as smooth many poky triangles. ive said it before and ill say it again - if someone is waiting for me to start pumping out $5 products then dont hold your breath, frankly i find the current state of marketplace pricing - like the daz .99 cent thing - its absolutely #%@$ing insulting to the content creator, and id rather go flip burgers at mcdonalds than make 50 cents on something ive busted my ass working on. to those people saying 'the only reason i would buy renda is for blackhearted's morph' - i really appreciate it, but please dont. i get a ton of emails saying 'i only bought the mil girls because of nia' or 'i only bought SP3 because of irina', and its the highest form of praise but all it does is depress me. i dont want my customers shelling out large sums of money for expensive characters they wouldnt use if it werent for my products, its wasteful. from now on ill stick to something like V3 that is free and everyone has already. unfortunately at the time i created irina i didnt know that daz would be dumping V3 for free, and jacking SP3s price through the roof. i also had no idea that renda would be so expensive, and honestly i feel a little betrayed by it. if you can afford it and you like renda, buy her. if you like my morph, buy it. but please dont buy $75 of something you dont want just for a $15 morph - i promise i have something much better planned for V3. im not a huge fan of V3 simply because im so tired of the marketplaces and our creativity being stunted by totally revolving around her and her default body, but its not like we have a lot of other options. cheers, -gabriel
