MachineClaw... what's the difference in justifaction between a user coming online and posting 'where can I find... (insert model/content type here)', and 'how do I... (insert method here)'? Both can be seen as someone wanting to take the 'easy way out' - relying on another person's expertise and knowledge in order to get to their own end product all the sooner. Of COURSE Poser is about content, be it sold or free - since Poser has no (real) modelling capabilities, you have to import the content from elsewhere. And unless you expect evryone who uses Poser to come from amodelling background, then there's going to be a market for selling the pieces you make. And if you have a market place, then there are goign to be those who choose to give their goods away for free, instead of selling - whatever their motivations for doing so may be. Similarly, we could all start from square one, armed only with the Poser reference and tutorial manual, ignore the forums and community completely, and try to work out exactly what evry single possible node, button, dial and menu item in the program does all by ourselves. Or, we oculd come here, ask people who might have trodden the same ground as us before if they have the answers, and learn from their experiences. As Isaac Newton once said, 'We stand on the shoulders of giants'. We all take advantage of those who have gone before us - whether it be in terms of content, or workflow. Sure, we could just take models, textures, lighting sets, and so on that other people have done before, throw them together randomly, hit render and present it to the public. And some people do. But we can also take those things, try them out in new combinations, take them apart to see exactly how people did what they did, and then try and improve ourselves, tweaking a pose here or light setting there - hell, maybe even beginning to use procedural nodes! Poser is what you make of it. And as you said yourself, the price you pay for content does not necessarily dictate the quality of the finished result. I'm stopping, now, because I'm in danger of continuing to wax lyrical on this vein for a VERY long time indeed. jonthecelt
