I'm not a merchant, but I need some money for doctors and perscriptions and stuff like that.  SO I need to sell something.

The open question is this: What do you want?  You go out and you got your credit card in hand and want some Poser Content.  What do you really want to spend money on?

Clothes?  Sets? Props?  Swords? Temples? Naked Vickies? :laugh: Fast cars? Flying saucers? Morphs? Textures?

This isn't a flat out commercial post.  I'm not far enough along to be there....this is more of information gathering.  I want to make something that someone might buy, but I lost track of what people might even like.

So what about it?  What do you want?

 Androgynous fashion for Male Human Figures - including shoes and acccessories.

Some thing or some style that no one else has thought of.

I think you're better off finding another job if you need some substantial income.

Monsters, Dinoraul does some good one along with his dinos and there is Sanctum Art but when I look over at ZBrush Central, all I can say is I wish someone would make those figures for Poser. 

But answering the direct question:  what I'd like to see (and can't make
for myself) is more 1930's clothes, along these lines.  

This is probably difficult, I wouldn't know, I don't model anything!
But I'd like to see clothing that can be removed realistically, there are some out there but not many!

Displacement maps and body/face morph sets for existing figures. :)

Heh! No one ever follows up on posts like these but you maybe. In the past I have offered much money to someone to model static props of clothes that figures can be posed as though pulling on/off to dress/undress. Everyone says this is just minutes work in the Poser Cloth Room but wouldn't take my $250 offer to anyone willing to make some props or even just morphs for say the Poser 5 dynamic base clothes which could then be sold in the market place after cashing my check. Alas I have far less money now then I had then but I can not imagine there is not a market for quality props of clothes tossed on floor or a t-shirt being pulled off/on... pants unzipped and being pulled off/on. If the stuff was good I would find money for a bounty somehow but certainly not anything as generous as I have offered in the past - honestly I don't know what I would offer today but I render scenes of artist's studio and artist's models and need clothes folded/drapped on a chair, dropped on floor or posed so say V4 or M4 or any other DAZ figure is taking it off or putting it on. I am amazed that with all the nudes at 'rotic et al. it seems the convention is clothes dematerialization rather than proper dressing/undressin/scattered on floor clothes. There are two freebie clothes on floor and an RMP product plus some morphable pants but not to offend the makers, they would work okay for toon or P4 work but are not for more typical Poser 7 renders.

Anyhow... that is what I want :)

That said... I try to support artists with unique vision e.g. arcebus, oskarsson, fenrissa , vikike176, samildanach, ockham, obm890, Mirandus-Arts, electranaut, 3D-Age and artist who sell at prices I like such as BHV, BATLAB, 9mbi, and reika. Then there are people like Dimension3D who just makes stuff you have to have. Finally I have a soft spot for vedors like Nike and Most-Digital who make a lot of great freebies no strings attached or people like Zippo and Zippy and Gerld Day who are freebie makers some of whom I have make cash or gift certificate donations to in gratitude. (sorry if I mis-spelled anyones screen name)

Long throw from left.  If you have some experience with Poser, and even some Poser animation
experience, you might make more and quicker money doing renders and animations as demonstrative exhibits for lawyers.  Tryu contacting small to medium size firms in your area.

Just a thought.

True, in my experience one can make more in a morning with a good commercial art gig than with a month's or more work on a piece of Poser Content even if it turns out to be a hot seller. The trouble is hooking up with a good gig.

Lawyer stuff sounds good... in the late eighties in New York it was $15 an hour just to make graphs and pie charts and other simple visual aids for court room use. Another thing artists used to do for money back then was watering/trimming plants in office buildings for contract outfits which paid a somewhat similar rate IRC.

Great idea from Spod.  You could point to Poser being used by the "big boys"
at Court TV or Tru TV or whatvr it's calld now. 

Along with calling lawyers, you might also call the Criminal Justice Dept
at a nearby university.  Professors often get called as expert witnesses, and they 're
familiar with the idea of using technology for illustrative purposes.

There is a Wishing Well forum here that people use to post their product requests,  and not to speak of the enemy too much, but RuntimeDNA has a wishing well forum that seems to be well used :)

John

please don't beat me they made me say it.

 As far as removeable clothes goes, that might minutes in the cloth room, but that isn't something  I'm comfortable with.  Dropped clothes is easy in the cloth room.

I'm crippled up after two strokes, so working is out of the question.  I've applied for SSDI and such, but I just need some money to bridge the gap.  I didn't know I could make so much as to pay a light bill!  LOLOLOL :laugh: Big money!

My undependable health and schedule (I can't sleep.  I stay up until I fall out, and sleep until I get up. Random times on each.  Sucky life.) make it impossible to maintain anything like a normal life or appointments.  As such, Lawyers are right out.

I'll check out the RDNA forums.  I only recently have been able to read the RDNA site.  The 1930's clothes is a possibility.  Thanks for the feed back guys.  Any help is better than no help.

JoeGLaine,

I had in mind just your situation.  Small projects.  Often long deadlines.  Work any time of day.  Specs can be emailed, and the same with product.  (Hard copy production is no your job.)  No appointments are necessary.

Example:  A couple of months ago I started, developed, negotiated and settled a small case from 200 miles away without a phone call, scrap of paper (until the settlement agreements needed to be signed.) or 'face to face' with the other lawyer.  There were no meetings. 

Used a couple Poser renders in the last proposal.  All done from my home computer late at night and on weekends. 

on top of my list right now:

A big space-telescope observatory, from the outside.

And if it can launch into space mounted with a parabolic antenna, even better.

No offense to you in anyway JOELGLAINE but I have pretty much given up on requesting, offering to pay or anything else to creators for things I need for my work. It seems to be too much trouble and seems to put too many on the defensive. I have just resided myself since I am not a modeler or a merchant I am at their mercies so I work with what I have and what is available.

maybe they would want more freestuff items to build a loyal customer base that's ready to buy yer comm. items when they become avail.

 You folks are reading suff I'm not writing.  I'm curious about what people might spend money on in Poser stuff, not looking for commisions.

You might try p0rn props or check the wishlist at 'rotica and elsewhere. I don't imagine such stuff moves many units but I get the impression there are some well heeled people who buy everything that comes along in that genre... I made several grand with some simple stuff of that nature that I never rendered with myself aside from for the promos.

Back to regular Poser content... I want anything real that is properly proportioned and detailed and hopefully mesh efficient... the key is 99.9% accuracy with scale and proportion but I don't know how many other people want such stuff. I have always wanted real as opposed to fantasy/luxury settings... shared apartments, low income interiors, etc. but I get the impression slick sci-fi is what probably sells.

Anyway, good Poser-Ready scenes are great... a setting where the poser figure(s) can go that doesn't require a seperate ground plane and panarama. Even a nice interior room with good drapes etc... just a one-click setting to drop a figure into... and I would love better versions of some of the scenes I have had to bungle together myself... cheap panneled basements, derelict apartments, loft spaces under construction, shared squats, keggers at the dump in the woods, various artist work spaces... my work is all nostalgia and memories... mobile homes, van conversions, cheap rural bungalos, decrepit urban appartments... not all of us grew up with the finer things.

Some examples of somewhat simple one-click 'environments' I think are cool...

 THAT is the kind of info I'm looking for!  Thanks for the head's up momodot!  Alrighty, I got enough to work on, now.  Thanks for the info! :laugh:  Off to make things, now.

Something similar to the skirt part of this outfit? Lower on the waist or at the hips. I need it mostly for Aiko 3 but V3 is okay.

Thanks,
Nolos.

BTW JOELGLAINE, sorry about the hard times :)

IMHO for what it is worth... focus on the small things. E.G. how delightful it is to drink a cool cup of clean water... how spaghetti or rice actually taste amazing with a tiny pat of butter and some salt :) These are the great things in life. I lived for some time on stew made with old discount vegetables from the green grocer poured over rice or potatoes when possible -- onions and garlic are magic! Dry split pea supe with anything you can find tossed in. There is old bread that works fine toasted or soaked... even used to get old out-date Hostess Cupcakes at the bake shop! There are even fine bakeries with discount bins. I actually did okay when I was quite poor. I don't mean this mean like "oh! It isn't so bad" because I know it is the worry that gets to you but still a pleasure or even joy in the simple things goes a real long way :) Seriously.

 I'll do a 1930s dress and some scenes.  I'm already part-way through on a space-ship cabin, and have the mesh ready for the dress.  I might do some Twentieth century scenes like the photos you posted.  The idea of one click scenes sound like what I look for,too.   It's a great idea that I have spent HOURS looking for and always end up getting when available, but never remembered doing that until you reminded me.  That's why I said, thanks! :laugh:  It was a real, "D'OH!" moment for me.

Building a proper scene involves so much set dressing and so much texture/mesh resources but a little all-in one interior such as the Vanity set with wallpaper, light scones, and curtains is a one-click solution for a rendered rather than composited background...  Richabri's Vanity Set is a great example... a simple three-sided set with two items of furniture, in-scene light props, and props of personal accessories to dress the scene - all with believable well proportioned IRW style/design. A very practical one-click scene to drop your figures into.
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=27252&keyword=vanity

Richabri is good with providing comprehensive scenes that are light on the machine. I still want his chess match scene. He usually deals with windows I believe... I am so frustrated when interior scenes don't deal with the view outside the windows and I must place a building or extrerior of some sort behind it... I prefer not to drop photographic background behind rendered scenes unless they are really really well integrated... semi-painted or painted seem to work better. I have been wanting a blinds and curtain and taped up newspapers or taped together plastic garbage bag kit to cover up all these windows that stare out into the void of the Poser Universe ;)

Hard to find aside from with the Nike/vikike176 dia-ramas is an exterior scene that is one-click and ready-to-go with ground plane, mid ground set dressing, far-ground, background panarama and sky or sky-dome included. the Nike stuff is based I believe on how sets are done in theatre on the stage with a well articulated ground and mid-ground leading to prop "cheats" that knit the scene a believable background painting.

muralist was notible in providing full ground planes and panoramic backgrounds for his scenes but I see few reamain at RMP.
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?vendor=94968

I must mention Mapps/RichardPhoto who sell very affordable modular scene construction sets... a tremendous value and they come with many .pz3 pre-set scenes of great sophistication and very generous associated props of personal articals for set dressing. I try to buy as many as I can and I think every one else should too! The only thing that mars their sets (although again they are a TREMENDOUS value) is certain props like the chair they often use that just doesn't match the styling of any chair I have encountered IRW so I find myself replacing a few of therir generous stock of included props such as the chairs or doors with those of my own construction but find myself returning again and again to their scenes because the modularity is so simple and hassle free and I can build either very simple backdrops or the most elaborate constructions with little overhead.
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?vendor=43772

Finally I must mention ockham's scenes... very light on resource but again light modular construction sets that are very easy to use and very accurate in the proportion and design of scene elements. Sets such as ockhams and Mapps permit you with just a small number of elements create a great diversity of unique scenes easily... It is funny that although ockham focus on light scenes for toon and animation the accuracy of his design in terms of real world styling makes his scenes better with the right textures used for creating real world scenes than all the fancy stuff available... in your life have you seen more often simple kitchens like the one shown above or those crazy luxury kichens with improbable furniture and fixture designs?

Joel,
I just look at what is selling in the various markets and create.
Then I upload to sell at various markets.

I don't make a bundle but every little penny helps.

Just jump in and try is all you can do.

I can tell you there is hardly any good clothes for any of the older models.

Most women over fifty don't have Barbie figures and the men over fifty don't have Ken builds so the clothes on the market isn't for them.
If I could model,I'd make some more mature model clothes.

 We are working on a hat set, i will be a full hatter's shoppe with a bunch of hats smart proped for the different characters. No idea when the set will be done though, it is partly done and still on the to do list.

What pulls in cash faster then anything is sexy outfits for the ladies. You need to know hat is hot and selling like mad, check the "what's hot" section of the Market and see what items stay on the front page.  90% of the 30 items on page 1 are sexy items. Long sexy hair, skimpy outfits, beautiful textures for the ladies, etc :-)

I would pay a higher price for a limited market item...The inside of a Supermarket, complete with check counters, shopping karts, stocked shelves, frozen food isle, etc you can change the merchandise and logos (include templates) for the brands and language of the country you live in. If done correctly that same Supermarket-interior could have add on packs that convert it to a large electronics retailer and another into a large home improvement center, maybe even a drug store with a pharmacy counter (where does Vicki get all that hair die she uses to change her hair color so often? ) Of course the final add on pack could be the parking lot for all of the above and the exterior of the building with easily changeable signage. In the states think Safeway, Home Depot, Rite-Aid, Best Buy as examples of stores. If it sold decent you could even consider pose paks for the cashiers, shoppers, box boys and shelf restockers.

Keep in mind it would be a limited market item compared what others have stated in this thread.

""I'm crippled up after two strokes"

Half a dozen here, not crippled.  Work harder on the physical therapy.

The idea for clothing in states of partial removal is a great one.

I'm probably speaking as one lone voice in a million so feel free to cast my suggestions aside. While I am a huge fan of the sexy outfits and love all the sci- fi looks and fantasy stuff, it'd also be nice to be able to dress Vickie in some nice, ordinary clothes once in a while. A professional looking office outfit slacks and skirt... Maybe a jacket. A pair of shorts or two that aren't skin tight and with butt cheeks showing... Clothing that your average ordinary woman might wear.

Don't get me wrong, the fantasy and sexy stuff is great!!! But sometimes you have a character that doesn't have a double 'D' chest and a size 2 body who still wants to look fashionable...

That's just me. Yes, there are a few out there and I own a lot of them... But there's not enough.

 I'm working on a 1929 dress for V4 with hat and shoes.  My health has been dicey the past month, so I haven't said much on the internet.  Thanks for all the input.

I have no health care and can only get to visit a neuologist or get physical therapy when it's avaialable for free.  I got my first visit with a neuologist for the first time since my first stoke next month on the 28th.  My first stroke was on Nov 2nd 2006. The FIRST appointment to even be appraised for physical therapy is Sept 28,2009.  Do the math.  If you're poor in America, it's like you live in the third world.  I have YET to get on SSDI.

Strokes are like the lottery.  It's all a matter of luck.  My neighbor, Don had only one.  He can't move his right side at all, in a wheel chair and can't speak.  I'm a hell of a lot luckier than him, but not as lucky as others.

@flibbits--telling to me work more on physical therapy is like telling me to fly.  I haven't been lucky to date, and I don't have an airplane...yet.  After next month, I hope to turn that around.

YES!! More seriously cool monster!!!!
