Qoute:"Ah ok I didn't realize that your theme was an attempt to push AM. I have nothing against him, but I don't particularly find him versatile enough to completely cover the gammet as far as characters are concerned. No single figure is, for reasons laid out by others already, and if it was possible you would still end up with the bloated figure issue where you would need tons of morphs to get every variation possible. Believe me if there was one figure I could create content for that covered every variation and the software could really handle the requirements of such a figure it would make my life simpler as a content creator."

Actually - in a way your correct - I am to a certain extent pushing AM. As I said before (if you were paying attention) I don't think he's flawless, and every figure has faults. The AM subject on this thread was a can of worms first opened by my very good online buddy and long time Rendo aqauntance pakled. He made a VERY GOOD POINT. I have been waving the AM character on this thread around like a flag since then for a VERY GOOD REASON - and that is that he represents a concept that can stabilize the "Poser World" a little more, and in my opinion, make it a lot friendlier towards people who don't want to have to spend their eyeballs out on materials just to get character diversity in their scenes. NAMELY - an icon for folks who want highly flexible figures with INTACT CORE COMPONENTS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO BROKE OVER!!!

Qoute:"as far as your argument about whore clothes, sorry guess you didn't look at my catalog, there is far more conservative stuff in there than not.  but bottom line, most merchants are in this to make a living, they can have all the artistic integrity and sheer guts as they want but that doesn't actually put food on the table, and as long as customers are buying more of the sexy stuff, and I can attest that I have seen actual numbers that say they are, merchants will go with what is most likely going to put that food on the table. yelling at the Merchants who sell the stuff is putting the cart before the horse because the merchants wouldn't sell it if people didn't buy it in huge numbers."

Firstly - I'm not "yelling" at anybody. For those who feel that excessive capitalization is equivalent to yelling - you need to get away from the keyboards and get some nice fresh air and sunshine for a bit, it's starting to ware on you profusely.

Secondly - I am NOT in opposition to making a buck, otherwise I would not be contemplating being a merchant here. I am not saying go STARVE yourselves (that's being a tad bit over the top - don't you think?). I AM suggesting that you DIVERSIFY YOUR OFFERINGS A LITTLE!
(AGAIN - YOU DID NOT READ MY COMMENT CONCISELY).

Tell you what - you would make a heck of a lot more money just bending over and mooning the world in front of a web cam for five minutes a day than sitting around for hours tinkering with making little 3D models - but are you willing to do THAT? It seems logical according to the basic premise of your position. It would INDEED put food far more quickly on your table.
