as someone who purchased glamorous jessi and downloaded play with poser's mizuho, i'd have to say i'm kind of on the fence. so decoding was not at all an undue pain in the tuchus with GJ. but then, as far as i know, there aren't several versions of jessi. i didn't think there were that many of aiko, but i couldn't decode mizuho for aiko le, even after re-downloading her. now, i have aiko full as well, and that decoding worked (i just worked at decoding the other cause, damn it, it should have worked). even though mizuho's creator had a very good read me, and my file fit the description, the decoder wouldn't recognize my aiko le file. oh, and i think he had to include multiple versions for different times of dl'ing aiko. i assume belbel won't have that problem, but she's being distributed by daz with aiko le. so with the decoding issue, i'm a bit wary about it working and think that it could be a big headache for merchant, especially considering v3's had 2 or 3 updates (meaning 3 or 4 versions). the trouble decoding takes is minimal, and worth it for a unique or otherwise useful morph. i'd definitely risk the trouble for a product i really liked and/or a merchant who is fairly visible and accessible in the community. basically, i'd have to be unafraid that the merchant would help me if there was a problem decoding. the other issue is extensibility. i'm about as interested in appropriating someone else's idea of beauty wholesale as i am dealing with dmv. i wouldn't have bought miki if she didn't have face room support, and she was only a little more (at the time) than you tend to price your figures. if a figure had one fixed form and v3's joint problems, i wouldn't pay a lot for it. and one appeal of GJ was that jessi doesn't have that many morphs. so i wasn't losing affordances with using her. and, jim please correct me if i'm wrong, i believe if i purchased shahara's bryn for jessi, it would still work on her. also, it would come across as purposely breaking affordances to me. david, s3, aiko, hiro, luke, laura, mattie, matt, the mill baby 3 and v3 can all share morphs. they might look whack, but it works. if freak and m3 were differently grouped, they could too. that's a lot of variablility without needing to actually redo the mesh. if it didn't take existing morphs (like, for instance, dodger's aeon group do), i'd feel the character was deliberately inflexible. that said, an inflexible character would be fine for the load and render crew. i think most people who buy your stuff now wouldn't mind- there are lots of serious blackhearted fans. on a completely separate note, i'm interested in you making dynamic clothing. i definitely prefer it for a lot of clothing types and situations. just out of curiousity, have you tried the conforming / dynamic hybridizing jim burton, english bob and trav are playing with? it seems like the best of both worlds. if you haven't already seen them and in case you're interested, there are threads about it here and at poser pros.
