Lostinspaceman, some poser content creators are lucky if the make 2/3rds of minimum wage on thier products. How long do you think you could feed your family on $6 a hour?

And I myself amlost quit doing poser cntent after an almost abysmal year. Even though I had more products available, I made less last year then the two previous years... and we aren't taking a little less, we're talking a LOT less.

I do this full time, and yet by September last year, my total sales for the year were less then $4000. (That comes out to about $440 a MONTH... barely over $100 a week for professional 3d work, or about $2.50 an hour.) And some content creators are "envious" of my success! LOL!

I was lucky though, a few outstanding selling products in october and november kept me in the game a little longer. if I was the single bread winner for our hosehold, I would have given this up 3 years ago, but since my wife makes the majority of our money, this gives me the freedom to take care of household stuff, as well as bringing "play money" into our household. My income makes extra payments on credit cards, and gives up extra cash to buy things we'd like, but couldn't afford on just a one income salary.

So don't tell my how craftsmen have it so much harder because they have to create multiple products, when they are making $15-$20 at their trade, and I'm lucky if I'm making minumum wage at mine.

There were estimates a year ago, that more then 70% of poser content creators that are full time, make $12,000 a year or LESS. That averages out to about $6.25 an hour, showing clearly that 3d content creation for poser is VERY undervalued. You'd think the skilled trade of quality 3d content creation would pay better then someone who weaves baskets.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
