Quote - Mrsparky, I don't know the reason artists have for not wanting to sell at DAZ, but the fact is DAZ is the only site that is balanced: perhaps they develop less products a month than Renderosity, but they are quite careful to develop the same amount for males and for females, and they don't forget Luke nor David nor Hiro just for not being "V3 mass media" items.

I buy at Renderosity because after the annoying bunch of "for V3 this" and "for V3 that", exotic and rare interesting things can be found from time to time, but I don't forget to have a look to DAZ or Poserworld.

Actually, I find DAZ to be just as biased as any of the sites - there's still far more for V3 than for M3, by a very wide margin, and what's available for M3 isn't very balanced as far as clothing and props for the 'real world.' I'm not interested in barbarian heroes or fantasy adventurers, frankly.

And I'm even less interested in manga and anime; more so than even V3, now what I seem to see most of all is clothing for Aiko, Terai Yuki and Miki. All I can think of is the song "I'm Turning Japanese!" :cursing: - I have no interest in making cartoons or Tokyo Pop.

Sure, I'd like to see more balance, but the majority of merchants probably want to make money, so they make what sells. We. the customers, define the market. So if we want more for M3, more props and scenes, more variety, we need to start buying them and using them.

Until then, Vickie rulez - literally.  :blink:
