The rest still is very pricy. That's something you never, ever hear a modeller say ;) We are so underpaid it's ridiculous. we're still being charged way to much by most merchants Heh heh heh, looks at prices. Um, nah, don't think so. I sell entire outfits for under $20. You realise an entire outfit can take a month to make? If I sell say 100 of these outfits that's $200, minus the (at least) 50% to the store selling it, that's $100. So, if an outfit took say 5 days x 8 hours = 40 hours / $100 = 0.40. Working for 40 cents an hour is NOT overcharging in my book ;P You can make art with just the basics (pencil and paper - V3-M3 and Poser) or you can buy other items to enhance your art in specific ways. The basics are never useless, it's just some people express themselves better with added items (paint, textured papers, etc). M3 & V3 aren't free at all.... only the base figures are free and without the needed add-ons their pretty much worthless This is so not true in any way you look at it. Learn how to use magnets or a modelling program and make some morphs yourself. That's the only reason you find them 'worthless'. It takes very little time to learn how to use Poser magnets, which are included with Poser, so therefore no outside purchase.
