Quote - Doesn't really work. They do have a group at Daz that tries this but as merchants will tell you, lots of gripping and talk but only a few, in these groups actually buy. So can you blame the mechants for pimping the female stuff?

Don't blame the merchants for anything they do - it's there time, effort and energy they spend in developing, so if whatever they feel like creating is entirely up to them.

Quote - It is true that you see 50 of the same thing with very little difference. I swear that many of the clothes are done with the same mesh with a slight different cut. Maybe it's all these quick clothing apps that there are like Fashion Shop or whatever it's called, PhilC's clothing creation software, all the merchant resource products. Maybe the market is so saturated that everything is just one big blur now.

Could be, I don't really buy much though so I don't keep a very close eye on the market as a whole  I peruse every now and again just to see if there's anything out there that grabs my attention, but for the most part I haven't seen a whole lot that does.   When I do use Poser I'm not generally using V3, V4, etc and I've never really needed to render a scantily clad woman so for the most part I don't buy much from the marketplace.

Quote - Seems everyone wants to be a merchant, except me, with thoughts of riches and fame. Could be why some tell the newbies it is so hard to do in hopes of less competition but as I said in an earlier post, it discourages some fresh young blood, which is something this community needs. It is getting stale.

 
Dunno, I create a lot of my own content so I have a pretty good idea just how much time it takes, and from the prices I've seen in the marketplace I can't imagine anyone ever getting rich being a vendor for Poser items.  Toyed with the idea of releasing some of my own stuff eventually, but to be honest I'm just not sure if it's even worth the time to package it, at least not at this point.  Perhaps someday, but right now I have bigger fish to fry :)

-Never fear, RenderDog is near!  Oh wait, is that a chew toy?  Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
