I agree.  As a matter of fact, I do that with a store locally.  There's a Cincinnati style chili I can't get where I am that is GREAT for making conie-style hotogs.  So, when it's time for the World Series, I get them to order some for me.  They're a national chain and the manager is very happy to order whatever they can for me.  Ain't customer service great?   :)

Ah, as a fellow Cincinnatian, I can be very proud of the chilis they make as well.  You can't beat that.

Quote - One thing I CAN'T STAND is "Dialspin Characters" being sold.  It's just plain stupid.  I'd never knowingly buy a dialspin character.  What's the point when I already have it?  What, I pay for some numbers to input into a mesh?  GG, thanks but no thanks.

And, that's the problem.  You see, most everyone is working within a narrow range of choices when working with the mesh.  They're not actually "modeling" anything.  They're spinning dials.  Whoopity doo!  What really needs to be done are original morphs, not dialspins.  Luckily, Z-Brush is out there and will help many people get over their dialspin addiction once they have saved up the cash.  There are very few character packs out there that I see which have "original morphs" on the label.  That's darn sad...

I can say that I'm one the guilty parties with a "dialspin" character disorder, lol.  On a serious note, creating something unique takes time and practice and I'm not knocking that out at all  And you're right:  we're being bombarded with the same things over and over just right here, the only uniqueness I see are from the likes of Aery Soul and Blackharted just to name a few, but an array of the supermodel/girl-next-door/ sci-fi babe types can be done a bit much -- when's M4 gonna get his spotlight? 

For me, I just made a custom head sculpt of M4 from Hex 2, at least it counts to something.  Man, I would give my right arm to own z-Brush/3D Coat just for making custom morphs or just creating something alone.  But, if I ever try to sell something here, I would like to stand out from the crowd. 

One thing I've learned that this is the "real" world, even with Reality TV, there's always some winners and losers, acceptance and rejection (how well I know rejection in my own life), take it for what it is and move on, I'll say.  That's what life is all about

I just couldn't resist Markonan's reply of Cincinnati-style chili -- not to get off topic though, but I wanted to put in my few pennie's worth on the subject.
