Ok babe, I'll be counting the seconds (and the milliseconds as well).
See ya later my goddess ;-)

@Ardiva
lol - well for starters I don't think that stuff about buttocks and breasts is going to bother me, not with this product anyway. But I'm dissappointed about Exclusive products not getting a bigger cut than non-ex's - I always thought that was one of the incentives, but obviously not :-/ As for the use of 3rd party resources, again, no problem - it's my own work.

BTW, exactly how long is "a long time" to get your product released?

@Geodesic250
Yep, I want to maximise the cashflow - I dropped all my web projects recently (sick of the agro), so I'm skint :-)

@xenic101
lol

@drawbridgep
Aaah, so you "can" sell stuff to DAZ then (drac's been strangely quiet about that $1200) ;-)

@bazze
Yeah, I've thought about selling directly through my own site as well, but then I started to wonder which would be the better option?

1- Sell on renderosity.com, get lot's of free publicity, a 50% cut, and allow people to pay through a system they've grown to trust.

2- Sell on pumeco.com, get just about 100% cut, but a LOT less publicity, and perhaps loose potential custom through using my own choice of transaction processing.

It's a tricky one that is.

@EveryoneReadingThis
My main problem is that I made the BIG mistake of developing a product which unfortunately, I have no real way to copyright. Sure, I can prohibit copying of my product "as is", but I can't stop low-life scum from recreating and rebranding it (and taking away the cash I'd worked hard for). That's life though, so I guess I'll just have to "bite the bullet" and hope that decent folk of the forum will not be party to such "obvious" clones and likewise abominations.

Clones are a bigger problem than you might think. It's not only bad for me, but also bad for the product - and in turn, it's users and Bryce. PR may be very basic in it's content, but it's a refined "precision" product in what it does. These are things that "CAN NOT" be altered in order to make another "accurate" product, so if some hack decides to alter PR's synthesis rules, then the downloaders of such crap deserve all they get - 'cos if it doesn't have the pumeco logo on it, it's not the genuine article - and you'll be teaching yourself mangled-up bullsh*t!

I've got a little something up my sleeve in order to help prevent such things, but that's all it can do, "help" to prevent it. What I've got planned will be announced when I decide to release PR.

Anyway, I'm real glad I started this thread, 'cos there's a lot of stuff being posted I didn't know about. So if there's any other "hidden" extras ya think I should know, then please post away!
