Hi once again Umut, Thank you for your interest and concern. We are very happy that you asked about many skin textures for one mask combination. It is no problem because MASKER creates project files. These files have very small size and can be use as often as you wish with deferent skin textures so you can save your favourite combinations and use its when you need it with any skin texture without loosing hard drive space. As we mentioned before MASKER works with Poser in real time, so you can apply changes (as textures or projects) by one mouse click. Bump Plug-In create as many textures as usual is needed to display bump (only one) and it is of course optional. MASKER was developed and created for end users conveniences. It is easy to use, it has friendly interface with preview and it lets create good looking renders without loosing time. Shadows look the same as they are visible on above pictures. We add natural looking shadows and we think its look good and natural enough. Additional thanks to this technic we can simulate different kinds of shadows under different parts of mask (for example if something thick lay on the top of the mask and should stick out more). MASKER technic lets us create semi transparent make-ups and tattoos ideal combined with skin texture. CLOTHIM has its own version, as you probably know as a texture creator there are serious differences between male and female body templates especially in pubic, back and shoulders area. As we wrote before this products are created to make life easier, so our clients need to be sure that clothes will look good on figure. That is why we have two different versions for male and female with different previews and textures prepared specially for concrete gender. By the way CLOTHIM LE was available for free for a long time. Thanks for the question about marketing strategy. It is very simple. Customers buy combination of easy to use software with many functions and high quality textures. Additional as our clients they have access to still growing number of free-stuffs and free plug-ins, and access to cheap high quality packages. We offer them all system of software, maps, plug-ins and tutorials with long term support. In our private opinion healthy competition is great. In this kind of competition customers win the freedom of choice. We hope it will be enough space for both products our and your. We wish you good luck in your business ;) Warm regards ZEW 3d Team
