whoot dances around at everything momodot has been ranting about ... ALL HAIL MOMODOT!!! Fianally some one with a clue! Why load a 90k poly figure to cover the whole figure with another 100k or more worth of polys for clothes, hair, and props !!!! Daz introduced the more polys is better blot-o-matic propoganda and every one and thier dog bought into it. to heck with the fact that vicky 1 looked like a man, vicky 2 wasn't much better and vicky 3 is so polybloated that even trying to clother her will get you arrested for cruelty to a pc! More polys and it's from daz so it's gotta be good .. puke and stahls stuff beats the heck out of anything daz has released. Seriously Zygote started getting a little popular because they were starting to make somewhat descent stuff at the time. They turned into DAZ the merchant mega monster, and then all of a sudden every artist community turned into a "3d content marketplace" everybody had to have thier own store to make a buck and everyone who could halfway work photoshop or a 3d app became a "merchant" as for "i have so much invested in vicky 3 i won't go to vicky4" well guess what. people said the same thing about going from vicki1 to vicki2 and going from vicki2 to vicki3. Daz will stop developing for vicky3 because she'll be "obsolete" Every merchant will start developing fir vicki4 because she's "the next big thing from daz" (big will probably be right. wonder if they can bloat her over 125k pologons). So when the merchants stop developing for v3 you'll "have" to upgrade to v4 or youll just be stuck with the same old stuff.. it's a cycle designed to keep you wasting your money on completely upgrading you current stuff to whatever's "new" i descided to heck with it i'll just learn to make my own stuff then if i can't find what i want i'll make my own. I remember a time when people used to release GOOD stuff into the free stuff sections. like thier best works. And don't get me wrong theres still some good freebies to be had but there are very very few of us who release our best stuff for free, and bother with making rsrs's that looks descent, and mat poses, and uvmap everything. Then again i also remember a time when you'd post an image in a gallery and get 60 - 100 vews and at leas 20 or 30 comments. many of those comments would contain advice and tips not just "Nice pic". The community has lost the "community" it feels more like sellers and buyers with the galleries as an excuse to keep selling and buying. And i'm not just talking about here, i'm talking just about everywhere!
