actually you sell lots of anything cheap ..witness 2 dollar knockoff anythings from Hong Kong. So I figure by slapping on lots of makeup, nailpolish and soft focus filters you should be able to cough up a couple a day. As long as you dont mind a certain skin deep similarity :)
Good thing not all merchants ahve this mentality!
Also if you dont render print quality poster sized images with full raytracing and IBL lights ... you may never realise that some skins have less to them than others. For full body screen resolution distance shots ..heck you could use a straight shader and probably do just fine. But the second you try to get closer at 300 DPI renders... you suddenly see all the flaws.
I guess it goes to show you get what you pay for :)
If you want a toyota or mcdonalds you can have 'em ... I'll continue to be picky :)
oh and incidentally ... not all cars can be mercedes ..but you dont see them all being advertised like they are eh? a little honesty in advertising would be nice, especially for the newer customers who really dont know what they are getting. But I dont think we'll ever see "buy this character! the best in dial spinning and edited merchants resources you'll ever see" lol
