Quote - I'm so tired of every user wanting to be a vendor and every vendor thinking they are a "professional". That is like a Sunday painter getting some pictures on the wall of the local coffee shop and expecting $5000 for a canvas given the work they put in... if they were a pro the canvas would be worth upward of $50 grand and the dealers would be coming to you (your agent actually). If you were a professional modeler or 3D artist you would be making $5,000 for a days work not bitching about mere hobyists not buying stuff for over $10. I have earned tens of thousands in royalties on a mornings work as a commercial artist back in my prime... anyone who thinks a professional and is making Poser content is deluded. A few hobyist who LOVE their work are paying rent with Poser income but those people would do the exact same work even if it derived no income. I have a long list of total crap I got at the RMP that I have no idea how it got through testing... stuff sold as Poser compatable that simply will not open or render in Poser... some vendors have made good with me and some have not. Seems to me a lot of the top content is far inferior to the old freebies. The people who stand out in terms of quality almost universally stand out as artists with unique vision. Often I buy there stuff just for the pleasure of viewing it on my computer since I could not imagine claiming as remotely my own anything done with it :)
There are few vendors that I will pay over 20 dollars for an item and that is mainly because time after time they have proven themselves and its always quality stuff. There are many items I wont dish out that kind of money for. Sad, but true, promos really make the product.
