Hello
I have been lurking around Renderosity for years. Buying things and the like, but never getting involved. Until now.
I have Poser 4 and DazStudio. I haven't had time to learn either programme very well (doing the 2 job thing will do that to you), but I like Daz because the cost of entry (free) makes it very attractive. A lot of props and characters can be had for $1.99. I'm an artist, but the plain fact is that our arts community where I live is for the most part broke. Free software and $2 add ons is about the right price. Daz is a little easier to learn too.
I LOVE a lot of the work you vendors do here at Renderosity. I go to buy some of it and I see "NOT Tested in D|S". If the stuff being sold was $1.99, I'd take the risk. When the price starts creeping up past $8, I just throw the item in my Wishlist and wait for the day I buy a new version of Poser (and find the time to learn it).
I like the idea DavidGB put forth. I don't believe it should be mandatory to do the "D" system, but I can tell you for a fact that would net some sales for vendors around here. I have personally walked away from buying items here because I was unsure of its compatibility or level thereof. The few people I know who use Daz (or Poser for that matter) steer clear of Renderosity when they shop for Daz stuff.
I wish more vendors did test in Daz, but I guess those of us who use Daz and buy items here should post as soon as they know, the level of compatibility with Daz of each given item. I know I will start doing this.
Thanks and take Care
