Quote - if they render it correctly, most of their users won't be able to duplicate said
render, thus forcing them to render using default settings.

A separate reply, my apologies..

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

A few months ago I decided to buy a couple of products from someone who was having a "deal."  I really didn't need them, they didn't look that great, but, they seemed like a fairly decent producer/person.  So, I gave them a shot.  What could I lose, a few bucks?  Only if it was completely broken would I not get any use of it.  After all, I could always alter the objects myself and redo them for personal use.

This particular vendor doesn't usually have good quality renders.  BUT, when I opened their product in Poser, I saw the level of detail and care put into the products and the obvious attention to producing a quality piece of work.  (There were a little system-heavy, but whatever...)

I would have never bought a single thing that vendor produced simply because their renders were substandard.  What "sold" their product didn't have a thing to do with any visual aids - It was a special sale along with seeing that vendor post several times and, obviously, they were very personable.

I'd hate to see a lot of potential vendors of really good products have little success simply because they're presenting their products poorly.
