Sometimes you can't even scan a piece of cloth though, because the pattern might be copyrighted. Sure, something like denim would probably be ok, but not a floral pattern because those specific (painted) flowers might be someone's copyrighted flower... And while I CAN take pictures of skin and bodyparts, I can't get the seams nice without a merchant-pak underlaying texture. I've tried. Lots of times. And it just looks crappy. People are so fast to diss Merchant Ressources, and it's true that some of the crappier textures out there rely 110% on them (but also some of the truly unique and spectacular textures) - it's a TOOL like everything else. You might as well ban the use of Peter Levius' photos, as everybody seems to be using those as well... Personally I LOVE to make CHARACTERS and MODELS and I positively HATE to texture them. But as you can't sell anything untextures (at least not if you expect poser hobbyists to pay for it) I have to go through the texture phase too, knowing full well that that part isn't where my talents are... At the same time, as Rawn pointed out, it's just not a solution to pair up with someone else, because the profit is wayy too small then... We all want Poser stuff to be high quality and low price. I'm no different there, but sometimes I'm wondering if we aren't shooting outselves in the foot with that approach.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
